Google is a multinational technology company primarily known for its search engine, which allows users to search for information on the internet using keywords. Founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google has since expanded its services to include various products and applications, such as email (Gmail), cloud storage (Google Drive), and productivity software (Google Docs). The company is also involved in areas like advertising technologies, consumer electronics, and operating systems, including Android. Google’s parent company is Alphabet Inc., which was created as part of a corporate restructuring in 2015. The name “Google” itself is derived from the mathematical term “googol,” which represents the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, symbolizing the company’s mission to organize a vast amount of information and make it universally accessible and useful.
