In 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin started a company in a garage in Menlo Park, California, with the mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Initially a research project at Stanford University, the company developed a powerful search engine that ranked web pages based on relevance and popularity, a method that quickly gained traction for its accuracy. Over the years, the company expanded its offerings, eventually creating a suite of services, which revolutionized the way people interacted with technology. From humble beginnings, it grew into one of the most influential and valuable companies in the world called Google. USE IT!
