It is so ingrained in our routines that it seems as if we have had it our whole lives (and well, actually for those under 20 years old it is like that). However, there are many things that I'm sure you haven't heard about this search engine. Some very interesting details. You will discover all this in the next few lines! What does Google mean? Google has its origin in the word googol, or in Spanish gúgol , which is the number 10 raised to the hundredth power, that is, 10 raised to 100. Or in more colloquial language the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. Despite being a finite number, it is a truly immense number. To have an idea, it is a number so large that it is greater than the number of atoms that exist in the universe, this number is 10 to the power of 78.
The term googol or googol has existed since 1938, when mathematician Phone Number List Edward Kasner asked his 9-year-old nephew to create a name for an immensely large number. This is how the name chosen to call this search engine for a huge amount of information was Google. And this is not all, Edward also created a much larger number that was the number 10 raised to a googol, that is, 1 followed by a googol of zeros. Do you know what this number is called? Googolplex! Does it sound familiar to you? It must be because Google's headquarters is called Google plex. How it all began? It all started when Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google, met in 1995 at Stanford University, where they were studying computer science. They worked together on a project creating an algorithm for data search. That was the starting point for what we know today as Google.

The first investment was made by Andy Bechtolsheim, vice president of Cisco Systems and co-founder of Sun Microsystems. US$100,000 were invested in the name of Google Inc. And in this way the company was officially born. Thus, in December 1998, Google Inc was created in Menlo Park, California, in the garage of employee Susan Wojcicki, who is currently CEO of YouTube. In the following years the company grew. New employees were hired and moved to their current headquarters, the famous Google plex in Mountain View, California.
