Do You Know Google’s Founder ?
In 1995, Larry and Sergey met at Stanford. At first, they didn’t get along much, but their mutual interest in data and technology brought them together.Larry was working on a project called “BackRub”, a search engine that analyzed the links between websites to determine their importance.Sergey joined the project, and together they developed a new algorithm called PageRank.This system ranked web pages not just by keywords but by how many other pages linked to them, making results far more relevant than existing search engines.
The Founders
Larry Page (Lawrence Edward Page).
Larry Page was born: March 26, 1973, in East Lansing, Michigan . His father, Carl Page, was a pioneer in computer science and AI. His mother, Gloria Page, was a computer programming instructor. He grew up surrounded by computers, which shaped his interest in technology.
Education.
- Studied computer engineering at the University of Michigan.
- Later joined Stanford University for a Ph.D. in computer science.
Sergey Brin (Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin).
He born: August 21, 1973, in Moscow, Russia (then Soviet Union). His family emigrated to the United States when he was six, due to restrictions faced by Jews in the USSR.His father became a mathematics professor, and his mother worked at NASA.
Education:
- Studied mathematics and computer science at the University of Maryland.
- Then pursued a Ph.D. in computer science at Stanford University, where he met Larry Page.
Google’s Top in the Worlds.
- In 1996, “BackRub” was running on Stanford servers but used up too much bandwidth.
- By 1997, they renamed the project Google, a play on the word “googol” (10¹⁰⁰), representing the huge amount of information they wanted to organize.
- In September 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin officially founded Google Inc. in a friend’s garage in Menlo Park, California.
- Their mission: “To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
Thoery on Google.
Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998, starting from a Stanford research project, and it grew into one of the world’s most powerful technology companies.
- In 1998, they received their first major investment: $100,000 from Andy Bechtolsheim, co-founder of Sun Microsystems.
- By 2000, Google became the world’s most popular search engine due to its clean design and accurate results.
- Today, Google (part of Alphabet Inc.) has grown far beyond search—into email (Gmail), maps (Google Maps), Android OS, YouTube, cloud services, AI, and much more.
Would you like me to also create a timeline chart of Google’s journey from 1995 till today so it’s easier to visualize?
