Although the author wrote this book for the youth audience, I as an old guy found it very enjoyable to read with lots of interesting facts intertwined throughout the story. ( ) This is an inventive, engaging and lively story of the orgins of Google-- the story of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who wanted to organize the internet and eventually BECAME the internet. The book is told chronilogically, with illustrations, side bars and photographs. It traces Google’s history from its inception to today’s technology-- Youtube and the “Ok Google” voice activated items. A great selection for any teen section, and especially for those who have readers interested in Computers or computer science. Literary Merit: Great Characterization: N/A Recommend: YES Grades: 6-12 This is a brief and easy to access history of Google. This follows the path from the inception of simplifying web searches to the behemoth web-based company Google is today. I found this to be such a fascinating read - I learned so much and got a glimpse of what's to come from Google. We find out the original name of the company, the many offices that the company out-grew throughout it's journey, how different ideas are generated and spawn either under or outside of the Google Umbrella, and how many of the Google tools we enjoy today came from basic needs that have arisen from real world problems. I especially like that way the author started most of the chapters by introducing what life and the search for information was like before the days of Google -- this will really amaze teens today who have never lived in a Google-less world. I would highly recommend this book to all teen readers (and adults!), especially those that have any technological inclinations! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Think. Invent. Organize. Share. Don't be evil. And change the world. Larry Page and Sergey Brin started out as two Stanford college students with a wild idea: They were going to organize the world's information. From that one deceptively simple goal, they created one of the most influential and innovative companies in the world. The word "google" has even entered our vocabulary as a verb. Now, find out the true history of Google from its humble beginnings as a thesis project made out of "borrowed" hardware and discount toys through its revolution of the world's relationship with technology to a brief glimpse of where they might take us next. In Google It, award-winning investigative reporter Anna Crowley Redding shares an inspiring story of innovation, personal and intellectual bravery, and most importantly, of shooting for the moon in order to change the world.
