On September 4, 1998 people learned of a new Internet company called “Google”. I remember those days. People told me that “there must be some catch.” People would tell me “if you use that Google thing, next thing you know is that you will be receiving tons of emails and advertisements.” People would say things like “It can’t be any good if they are giving it away for free.”
But, as history has taught us, it sure can be and is quite good. In fact, it is so good that in 1998 when Google was initially launched, people were making about 500,000 searches per day on Google and today people are making 2.3 million searches PER SECOND on Google. Did I just say “2.3 million per second?” Yes sir, I did. That is nothing short of unbelievable, but true.
Google is so prevalent on the Internet that in 2013 when Google went down for for 5 minutes the GLOBAL INTERNET traffic dropped by 40%! Now that is power. Did you know that when you ask Google something, it actually takes OVER 200 THINGS into account about your question before giving you an answer – and it does all of that in about 1/8th of one second!
This is, of course, why Google is one of the world’s most formidable companies. It is even more amazing, when you think of it, that such a formidable company is now headed by someone of Indian decent. Yes Sundar Pichar, of Indian decent, is the Chief of Google.
As I have written previously in this blog, we in India need to feel quite proud of our countrymen who have left India and have created excellent names for themselves. We also should feel equally proud of the countrymen who did NOT leave India and who are doing great things here in our home land.
IndiaFreelancers.com is just such an achievement. On IndiaFreelancers.com we have some of the best and the brightest web designers, programmers, database engineers and technical professionals in all of India. The quality that the world has come to expect from those of us in India, is here on IndiaFreelancers.com.
So the next time that you use Google remember two things: 1) A person of Indian origin is chief of that tremendous company and 2) Maybe the next genius who can make something as great as Google may be the programmer or web designer or database expert who you hire or work with on IndiaFreelancers.com.
