Assignment! Assignment! Actually most of the UTAR students always use “
Google” as the main search engine to find the information in order to complete their assignment. This is because Google co-founder Larry Page says that “Google search engine would understand exactly what you mean and give back exactly what you want.”
Nowadays, Google has become the big dog of search engines and successfully concerns the market on popularity among internet users. Although Google may be the favorite search engine by users, it is always aware that a “king” position can be deposed. As we know that “Microsoft” is a powerful and potential competitor against Google and thus as a result, Google is changing everything in order to achieve their organization’s goals.
Given the state of Google’s technology today, Google’s goal is to provide a much higher level of service to all those who seek information and resources. Besides that, Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Google’s vision is requiring more research, development and innovation to realize.
A glimpse at Google’s activities such as their own products, technology, and the Google culture, some innovative changing will be discovered.
Besides the Google Spreadsheet products, Google has introduced a new Web Browser which is called Google Chrome, aimed at wresting dominance of the browser market from Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The function of Chrome browser is more effective and efficient than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Mozilla’s Firefox and Apple’s Safari. I believe that if Google succeeds, it will be a big challenge with major ramifications for the future of the Web.

According to “Personal Technology” from The Wall Street Journal, the author who is Walter S. Mossberg stated the reasons of why Google ignites the new browser war. The reasons actually involve competing with Microsoft. There are two reasons.
First, Google is in fear that its search engine and other major products will depend on the Microsoft’s browser because it might be able to gain an advantage by altering the design of Internet Explorer, which has roughly 75% market share.
Second, Chrome was designed to be the world’s speediest browser at handling JavaScript. This is because Google sees the Web as a platform for the software programs or web applications that it is currently running directly on computer operating systems, notably Microsoft’s Windows. Moreover, current browsers lack the underlying architecture but more powerful web applications that will rely more greatly on a common Web programming language which called JavaScript. That is why Google would like to create a new browser.
In conclusion, I agree that “Google is changing everything” because Google has persistently pursued innovation and pushed the limits of existing technology to provide a fast, accurate and easy-to-use search service or search engine in real world.
INFORMATION SHARING - Google’s software:
“Picasa” is a software application for organizing, editing, transferring, finding, printing, and sharing digital photos. Based on my experience, I use Picasa software helps me to manage the photo on my computer because it is the fastest way to categorize all photos. Therefore, the latest version of Picasa 3.1 greatly improves the collage tool and adds a basic movie maker that let me intersperse a wide range of video.
