Google turns 20: How search engine company turned into technology behemoth

As Google turns 20 today, let's look back at what Google has been up to since 1998, and where they are headed

Back in 1998, two PhD students from Stanford University launched a new search engine with a bold mission to organise the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. 20 years since then, there has been no looking back and two tech nerds, Larry Page and Sergey Brin began their journey to change the internet.
