Titanic. Instead, we’re given one of the most innovative additions to our society, and arguably the staple of the 21st century. In a tiny garage-turned-office, Google was officially introduced and established by Stanford Ph.D. students Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Throughout the rest of the 20th century, and continuing through the 21st century, google became an incredible aspect of our everyday life.

In the article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by Nicholas Carr, the author argues that the internet is changing the way we think. He starts talking about himself and how he felt that something is changing his brain. The author states that people don’t read as deep as they used to be. His research techniques have changed in several ways. I don’t agree with him. While it is true that internet is changing the way we think, but it is not making us stupid.

Alex Mumm Business Law Professor Tauchert December 1st, 2014 It all began with an argument between Larry Page and Sergey Brin in the summer of 1995. Larry thought Sergey was arrogant, while Sergey thought Larry was obnoxious (“The Birth of Google”).

A company that I am both familiar with and believe to operate ethically is Google and there are many examples that prove how Google is ethical. The founders of Google are Sergey Brin and Larry Page; they founded the company in 1998 when they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University and together they currently own about 14% of the shares and control 56% of the stockholder voting power. (Google, 2015). So, what is Google? Most individuals use Google every single day when they need to research information
on the internet? If so, you have probably used Google to find what you need. This could not have happened without the ideas of two college students from Stanford. For most people, they dream of striking it rich by doing what they love. But for Sergy Brin and Larry Page they made this dream a reality.
