Google is the most popular Interent search engine in the world.It was invented by two students,Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1995, when they were both studying computer science at Stanford Universuty in California. They were also both fans of the science fiction TV program Star Trek ,and they loved the spaceship computer. They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds.

Internet search engines at the time were slow and gave many websites that weren't useful.In January 1996 ,Page and Brin decided to make a better and faster search engine.They thought the results should be based on the popularity of each website ─the most popular ones have the highest number of weblinks〈links to other websites 〉.

Nobody would give them money for their project,so they used their credit cards and bought as much computer memory as possible.They also borrowed money from family and friends.Then,in 1998, they were given a check for＄10000and they started their own company. Their first office was in a friend's garage！The company name Google comes from mathematics.A googol is a very high number─1 followed by 100 zeros.

 The Google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast,easy,and accurate. By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet. Now,more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service,from sports to science,and from music to medicine.Google hopes that in the future all the world's information will be put on the Internet,so that everybody can find everything.
