Google founded in the year 1998 by Larry page and sergey brin , is the most commonly used search engine in the world , where anyone can search for any information on the internet. It connects users to other webpages and contents that they need in split seconds.
From the beginning of humanity , mankind have always being curious to get answers , to get information , to know why an event happened, how it happened , when it happened and so on . People used scrolls , clay tablets , cave walls , local libraries , books and so on .
Good information relating to individual needs was very uneasy to access . Also , If you didn't have access to those sources of information , you just might never get the answers to your questions .
Which brings us to today , still having plethora of questions to ask , information we wish to know , perhaps pilots checking up when tomorrow's rain starts , travellers looking up how to say 'rice' in Yoruba language , athletes finding out a good diet to increase their muscle mass , cooks figuring out how to store fish , home residents looking to make a move and @code-redex making research about google for a write-up to be posted on hive blog . Billions of people asking trillions of questions from different geographical locations and languages, expecting to get an answer in less than a second.
nobody else can take up this task except Google .
The mission of Google is to :
"Organize the world's information to make it universally accessible and useful"
Let me break this down briefly :
"The world information" : You probably think information is just text or webpages . Rather , Google also gathers many complex informations such as maps , images , videos , audio , scanned books , accounts and much more .
"Universally" : irregardless of your location , age , gender , culture and lifestyle . Be it a blind person , a deaf person , people speaking different languages , Google is for everyone .
"Accessible" : You don't need to take a 30 minute bus to a library ,check a lot of cabinets , wait for the radio program , before you can access information . It has never been easier to get information , just a few clicks on your smartphone or computer , you get information in split seconds.
"useful" : Google provide users with authentic information that other people worldwide have taken their time to create , to accomplish tasks , learn skills and many other purposes .
Information keeps getting quality and easier to access the more google strives to complete this mission .
