Google all the way!

Here are 10 facts about GOOGLE! that you should know.



  1. Google has had some pretty interesting missions for it to accomplish. At the time when the company started its mission was to amass all the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. It still hasn't achieved that goal and it is estimated that it would take more than 300 years to complete that goal. Huh, way to go Google!
  2. There are more than 40,000 Google searches per second. That accounts for more than 3.5 billion searches a day or 1.2 trillion searches a year . That is more than 170 times the total number of people on earth!
  3. Google claims that a search query requires altogether about 1 kJ or 0.0003kW h of energy, which is enough to raise the temperature of one liter of water by 0.24 °C.
  4. Go to Google homepage and type the words, "I want to commit suicide" and Google will provide you with a Suicide Helpline number of your country! 
  5. When Google was a Stanford research project, it was nicknamed BackRub. A good thing it changed this name. Imagine your teacher telling you, "Backrub Vladimir Putin for homework and write a report on him."
  6. A young girl wrote a letter to Google to give her Dad, who worked there, a day off for his birthday and this what google replied the girl with.
