google

I think it’s hard to measure the impact that Google has on today’s web culture, but we know for sure that google has an enormous impact not only on the internet but also in our daily lifestyle. This has been shown clearly by using the phrase “google it” for seeking information.

I believe that google changed the face of the search industry. Since the search engine is the main product of google, I would like to take a little time talking about it, which I believe is more than just a search engine. There are many amazing features that we can use. google.com could be used as a calculator. It can solve the basic mathematics, complicated math, conversion, physical constants and units of measure. For example, you can try 8+4*2, 1 meter in feet, and 100 USD in Euros. Also, you can use Google as dictionary by using the word define. For example, (define: cosmology). We can ask Google about a population of any country by using the word population following by the country’s name. Also, we can ask more quotations such as “birthday Barack Obama”, “president Germany”, or “weather Washington DC”. There are more and more features in Google.com which might be very helpful. You can find the all features at http://www.google.com/help/features.html. I believe these features make google even a better search engine. Google takes the advantage of the information and make it very helpful to the user in many different ways. The search engine is just one example of a google product. I think with any other product, google will continue doing the same philosophy and try to take advantages of any technology available.

Other than the search engine, google becomes involved in the media industry as well. With the many products that google offer, people nowadays use google in just everything “email, maps, videos, news, etc”. I can use the internet for hours and still all I do is involved with google products. I think google will continue to grow and I think they will be just fine.
