The Google Boys

In class today we watched a video about the creation of Google. Google started with two college students and one idea. As more and more people began to use Google, employees were hired to account for the demand of Google. Google soon became the massive company it is today. Some of the challenges Google faced were copyright and competition. Google works by sending "spiders" out onto the world wide web which download any possible information. The problem is some people do not want their work on the internet. One artist got mad and tried to sue Google because he did not want his work available to everyone on the internet. As well, there are many competing companies, such as Yahoo and Microsoft, that are fighting for popularity. There key in being ahead is speed. Google is obsessed with speed and is always working to increase the speed of their programs.
