A review on Real-World Case: Google is changing everything

Technology had definitely redefined our lives. In my personal opinion, Google is one of the best things that could happen to you.


Google Inc. is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies. Google has created services and tools for the general public and business environment alike, including Web applications, advertising networks and solutions for businesses.

The
Google Search Engine is the company's most popular service. As of May 2009, Google’s websites continued to lead the search market with 65.0% market share, ahead of Yahoo! (20.1%) and Microsoft sites (8.0%). Google indexes billions of Web pages, so that users can search for the information they desire, through the use of keywords and operators, although at any given time it will only return a maximum of 1,000 results for any specific search query. The Google Search Engine somehow gives a more accurate and pin point search results compared the other search engine. Hence, I depend heavily on Google whenever I need information for my assignment, self interest, random searching and more. The source of information has changed as Google provides more convenience.

This following is a list of some features of Google Search that I would like to share. You might or might not know. Just click on the links below to see the results. No explanations needed. The words following after the colon are the search terms in Google Search. It can be replaced with any terms of your choices.

Google has also employed the Web Search technology into other search services, including Image Search, Google News, the price comparison site Google Product Search, the interactive Usenet archive Google Groups, Google Maps, and more.

Google Maps is a web mapping service application and technology provided by Google, free (for non-commercial use), that powers many map-based services. It offers street maps, a route planner for traveling by foot, bicycle, car, or public transport and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world including Malaysia. I used it quite often whenever I need to travel to a new place where I’d never been before. It helps a lot in leading the direction to destination unless the road is closed for maintenance. Hahaha…


Google can be considered as a wonder of the world, which gives millions of useful information to the world in a second. The Google applications and products changes our lifestyles by providing convenience as it can be used anytime anywhere as long as there is an Internet access and it has become parts of our lives in this 21st century. Dear friends, lets Google now!!! Yoohoo~~~
