Best of Day: TED Google Presentation

I found the Google presentation with Sergey Brin, the founder of Google, to be very interesting because i could completely relate to what Brin was mentioning. As a matter of fact, I just utilized Google in order to research Brin's background and how Google got started. It's fasinating to see such a rags to riches story in that Google was started from a person's garage, and now look at what it has become. Virtually every person that owns a computer has used Google, and that is saying a whole lot. Needless to say, Google's rise has been surprising as well. No other company has posted such big profits in such a short amount of time, while at the same time expanding their own company into an internet giant. One of the fascinating points during the presentation was when Brin pulled up a map of the data that is currently flowing through Google's databases. It was simply incredible, it look like the monitor was having a seizure or something, with all the line sand colors being presented at the same time. All in all, Google has revolutionized our society because it has allowed people to enjoy information that once was almost impossible to get your hands on. Google has greatly expanded the worlds sharing of information, and the knowledge available on the internet, and that is something Brin can be truly proud of.
