When we don't have an answer to a question, we say - Google it! Google, of course, has long been an integral part of our lives. What do we know about this tech giant? Let's try to find out.
Like all other super-successful companies, Google started out with rather modest conditions. There was a time when the giant with offices in every major country in the world worked in a garage in Menlo Park, California.
Have you ever wondered what the word Google means? Googol (from the English googol) is a number in decimal notation represented by one with 100 zeros.
When we search for answers to questions, we immediately turn to the most powerful search engine Google. Approximately 63,000 searches are logged per second, which turns into a massive 5.6 billion searches per day.
Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, while still doing research together at the university, thought about naming the company after the Backrub engine, but the final decision was in Google's favor.
They apparently foresaw everything․ No matter how we misspell the word google, we will still be where we were supposed to be. Well thought out!
Although 88-6% of the world's searches are performed through Google, the Chinese government has banned access to this site in their country.

Walking past the Google headquarters, it is very likely that you will come across goats in the area instead of gardeners. Goats eat grass in the Google neighborhood doing lawnmower work.
Here it all starts simple: Lego constructions, goats, etc.
Since 2010, Google has been acquiring an average of 1 new company per week. He is definitely a giant in everything!
