Google is a multinational technology giant founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998. It has since grown from a search engine into a global powerhouse, with a mission "to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful." Its core business, which generates the majority of its revenue, remains online advertising through its dominant search engine. However, the company has diversified far beyond search. Now a subsidiary of the parent company Alphabet Inc., Google has developed or acquired a wide-ranging portfolio of products, including the Android mobile operating system, the Google Chrome web browser, YouTube for video content, Google Maps for navigation, and the Gmail email service. Its innovations in fields like artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing have cemented its place as a leader in shaping the modern digital landscape.
