Google is phenomenal. Even Google into a company whose name is used as a verb. But behind the success, there are five interesting stories you need to know. But if it is felt there is a strange story, do not ask me, Google it!
1. Google does not generate much revenue
Google as the giant company has a lot of online services, namely Google search, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Earth, Google translate, and whether Google especially. Still added another website belongs to Google such as YouTube, Picasa, and Blogger is all these services you can get for free.
The question is, where did Google get the money? Then floats around rumors that Google does not have a good business model so that they can not produce a profit. However, these rumors can be broken when we talk about advertising.
Yep exactly once, the answer is advertising. If you visit a website and sometimes see ads titled Google AdSense or Google Search with Google Adwords feature labeled "Sponsored Links", that's a moneymaker Google. Believe it or not, Google Adwords and Google Adsense accounts for 97% of all revenues Google.
2. Google Makes Us Dumb
What is the capital city of Sweden? In what year did the first world war to happen? All that we can answer easily, Google! Google! Google!
Believe it or not, we must remember the words used to Pontianak, 1825, or any other term that is not easy to remember in the long term. But now, given the job as if replaced with technology that originated from the search box.
The phenomenon raises questions rather provoke: Is it true that Google is making us stupid? Or are we in terms of the wider community has shifted the meaning of the word "smart"?
Unwise indeed if we blame technology. Many think the pros and cons can we make considerations in addressing the technological advances.
3. Google knows all about us
Somewhat surprisingly, when Google know who we are, where we live, and what we like to watch video on youtube. Looks very interesting is not it?
In fact, Google stores search queries for each IP address for 9 months. Google also knows where we are right now (note we use a phone that has the technology Latitude). But if we look at these facts, Google only know the IP address, not personally by one individual.
The query recording purpose is as an input to the algorithm election ad that will appear when we access the internet. But still we can not prevent if Google wants to sell our information to the highest bidder.
Luckily one of Google's corporate motto is We can make money without doing evil.
4. Google Earth to spy on us
Google technology of this one was exceptional. By simply entering your home address, a camera will drop from stator layer to show the image area around your house. Please picture and you will see your car parked in front of the house.
Rumors, Google Earth is no real-time surveillance cameras remarkable. Please hold the image of Google Earth until you can see you are waving to the camera Google Earth. But the reality is not like that. Google Earth images that get updated every 1 sd 3 years.
And what about the technology "Street view" which is owned by Google Maps? Google was already thinking about how to protect the privacy of one's identity that is inadvertently photographed, ie by wearing a face-blurring algorithm technology.
5. Google want to dominate the Internet
When Google bought something -like youtube-, will always be the breaking news and fills the front page in the media. This phenomenon is also likely to recur when Google bought dark fiber cable unusually long. * Dark fiber is fiber optic cable network is very high speed. Until now, Google is a company that owns dark fiber cables most of any company.
Then what is the purpose of Google purchasing dark fiber? there is a short answer: Plow Internet. Now is the growth rate of people who download video, music, etc. higher, so that Internet service providers will strive to increase their bandwidth. But sometimes when the internet provider is no longer able to increase its capacity, so there is no other way than passing a current of their networks through Google.
But the rumor was denied by Google. Google explained that the purchase dark fiber is to download the entire data center, connect them scattered everywhere. In addition, Google is also currently cooperating with telecommunications companies like AT & T to borrow their bandwidth in each country. As a result, Google also must perform network routing them to realize such cooperation. That's why Google bought dark fiber so much.
