As Google has become one of the most famous brand and it has also proved numerous surveys conducted by the research companies. But have you guys ever think about it where the Google term come from or what it means as well.
“Google is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, to refer to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. A googol is a very large number. There isn't a googol of anything in the universe. Not stars, not dust particles, not atoms. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.” [1]

Google has purchased Robots manufacturing company in 2013 this company builds different kinds of robots from cats to human shape robot.
