The Source

          Generally, I get my information about the world from Google. This source is appealing to me because of it's wide range of information. Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin met at Stanford University in 1995. By 1996, they had built a search engine (initially called BackRub) that used links to determine the importance of individual webpages. On average, Google makes over $100 million dollars per day. The amount of money Google makes in a day is staggering, but these figures are just gross sales and or gross income. The question and probably the most difficult formula to figure out is true profits. With ten’s of thousands of employees, huge data centers with lots of servers storing terabytes upon terabytes of data doesn’t come cheap. Google makes the vast majority of their income through advertising.
