Storyline
Google's meteoric rise to internet stardom is one of the great business sagas of our time. The sons of college professors, Larry Page and
Sergey Brin - two brainy Stanford University grad students who founded the company - say their goal was to make the entire world's information
searchable and instantly accessible. At last count, they were answering 200 million queries a day. As with the invention of the internet, it's
changing our lives in ways we couldn't imagine. Google became the world's number one search engine because it returned better, more relevant
search results faster than the competition. How it does that is a secret, but enough is known among search engine experts to unlock some of the
mysteries of this conceptually simple yet infinitely complex software. Written by Anonymous

Synopsis
Born in Michigan in 1973, Larry Page's parents were both computer experts, so it was no surprise that he studied computer engineering at
Stanford University. That's where he met Sergey Brin. Together, Page and Brin developed a search engine that listed results according to the
popularity of the pages, calling it "Google." Since launching Google in 1998, the commpany has become the world's most popular search
engine, averaging nearly 6 billion searches daily in 2013.
Early Life and Career
Larry Page was born Lawrence Page on March 26, 1973, in East Lansing, Michigan. His father, Carl Page, was a pioneer in computer science
and artificial intelligence, and his mother taught computer programming. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the
University of Michigan, Page decided to concentrate on computer engineering at Stanford University, where he met Sergey Brin.
Google Begins
As a research project at Stanford University, Page and Brin created a search engine that listed results according to the popularity of the pages,
after concluding that the most popular result would often be the most useful. They called the search engine "Google" after the mathematical term
"googol," which refers to the No. 1 followed by 100 zeros, to reflect their mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the
web.
After raising $1 million from family, friends and other investors, the pair launched the company in 1998. Google has since become the world's
most popular search engine, receiving an average of 5.9 billion searches per day in 2013. Headquartered in the heart of California's Silicon
Valley, Google held its initial public offering in August 2004, making Page and Brin billionaires.
Recent Years
In 2006, Google purchased the most popular website for user-submitted streaming videos, YouTube, for $1.65 billion in stock.
In September 2013, Page was ranked No. 13 on the "Forbes 400" list of the richest people in America. That October, he was ranked No. 17 on
Forbes' 2013 "Most Powerful People" list. Now serving as Google's CEO, Page continues to share responsibility for the company's day-to-day
operations with Brin, who now serves as director of special projects for Google, and Eric Schmidt, the company's executive chairman.
