For those accessing the network daily, Google has become an indispensable tool. The internet search engine for excellence, is also the most visited site in the world. Now, tools that provides not only for simple navigation, but also for webmasters and entire companies, are numerous, but, as we all know, its main function is indexing web pages, or in the "catalog" everything that is posted on the network.
But where does this strange name?
The two brilliant creators of the search engine, Larry Page and Sergey Brin were looking for a name that represents the enormous potential of their invention, and this is when they decided to take inspiration from an existing name, Googol , a term coined by the nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner in 1938, to refer to the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. A name that undoubtedly wore a glove, as perfect metaphor for the infinite.
Also, always playing on words, the term is also associated with Google at the end goggles, which in English means binoculars.
