In fact:
Google is ranked as the
number 1 most popular site on the entire web by Alexa!
It's pretty incredible and
even ironic.
The fact that a site
dedicated to helping you find other sites on the web could itself
be the most popular.
Believe it or not:
Google's services went down
for 5 minutes and it resulted in a 40 percent dip in global internet traffic!
That's a testament to how
useful and influential the search engine has become in our lives.
For some of you that are too
young to remember what life was like prior to Google, let me tell you that
finding information was much more of a chore than it is today.
Like for example:
You'd actually have to jump
inside your car and take a drive down to the library if you were looking for
information or had a research project to work on.
Crazy, I know!
But that's how the world
operated before our thumbs replaced all that.
Today, you just tap on the
Google Search button and viola!
You just saved your self an
entire afternoon of research.
Google is really quite an
innovative company that knows how to have a little fun every now and then.
Get this:
If you're feeling bored and
want to take a quick break, you can actually type "atari breakout"
into Google Images and the game will pop up for you to enjoy!
Love it!
