Internet Book Review About Google and Human Knowledge

The Internet is perhaps the greatest communication device ever devised by mankind. The Internet is also a repository of all human knowledge. Of course, human knowledge wouldn’t be worth that much with a modernized ‘Dewey Decimal System’ to help someone find exactly what he’s looking for, would it? Therefore, the Internet would not be of much value without search functions or search engines.

Today the number one search engine is Google, in the past it has been something else. There used to be a lot of competition in the search space, but that hasn’t been the case in the last 5 years as Google has taken over the market. Over 70% of all internet searches now come from Google, which is an incredible market share.

Apparently, the human race has spoken and chosen to vote with their clicks and minds for Google to bring relevant data. This is a great event in the lifestyle of human beings, it really changes everything. Google is literally indexing the world and making it available in .02387603 seconds!

Of course, Google does not stop here by any means, every month they come out with new initiatives and ideas, keeping pace, yes, at the speed of the Internet with the evolution of the online virtual world. In fact, the history and history and future history of Google is quite fascinating. I would like to recommend you a very good book on this subject.
