　　Gongle was the fist seanch engine that began considering the importance of links. Links are

　　those bHlue underlined words that take you to other pages when you elick on them. Larry Page，

　　cofounder of Google， believed that webeites with many linke pointing al them were more important

　　than those that had few. He was right.. Coogle's search results were much better than the other

　　would wait at the home page and not do anything. When asked why， they said that they were，

　　“waiting for the rest of the page to load. " People couldr't imagine such a clean and open page幽

　　being complete. But people pefered the fesh design once they got used to it.

　　These days Google has its hands in everything from sel-driving cas to helping humans live

　　longer. Though they have many other popular products, they will always be best known for their
