Yes, you heard it right. Our Google birthday is today, i.e., on 4th September. We didn’t even realize when 26 years passed by. Google, which started in a garage, has become the most used search engine in the world today. The story of its birth is also very interesting, after knowing which you will definitely say that this even happened.
How was Google born?
It was the year 1995, when two PhD students of Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were working on a search engine project. They named their project Backrub. After two years, the name of this project was changed to Googol. This is fine, but you must be thinking that when it was Googol, then how did it get the name Google? So let me tell you that the story behind this is also very funny.
Actually, Google was written instead of Googol due to a spelling mistake. The interesting thing is that this mistake never had to be corrected again. Probably this was a mistake that was never corrected. Let us tell you that later on September 4, 1998, Page and Brin officially founded Google in a garage in Menlo Park, California. At that time, Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim had invested one lakh dollars in it.
Who are Larry Page and Sergey Brin?
This is fine; the establishment has been done, but you must be wondering: who are these Larry Page and Sergey Brin? So let us tell you that Sergey Brin was born on August 21, 1973, in Moscow, Russia. Sergey Brin is an American businessman and computer scientist, while Larry is an American computer scientist and entrepreneur who was born on March 26, 1973, in East Lansing, Michigan, USA. Both of them are known as the creators of the online search engine.
