Larry Page is the developer and co-founder of the Google search engine. He is the CEO of Google's parent company Alphabet. The winner of the Marconi Prize invented the most famous PageRank ranking algorithm, the most
famous Google link ranking algorithm.
Larry Page is not as popular as his partner Sergey Brin. However, it was together that they became the creators of the world famous system. He knew how to find a common language with his fellow Brin for the sake of a common goal, the creation of a search program. Larry leads many scientific projects, creating tremendous changes for all of humanity.
Time for accomplishment
Lawrence Edward "Larry" Page was born into the family of a professor of computer science on March 27, 1973. The atmosphere in the family encouraged the boy to be creative in the field of programming. It was this discipline that Larry's mother taught at the University of Michigan.
The child grew up uncompromising and emotional. From the age of six, his parents began to teach him to play the saxophone and composition. In 1979, parents presented their son with the first computer. Since elementary school, Paige Jr. has done homework electronically. After completing high school in 1991, Lawrence Edward decided to continue his education at the University of Michigan.
He was actively involved in scientific research. Since 1995, the student has been involved in the educational program at Stanford University. Initially, the student became a Bachelor of Computer Science and then received a Master's degree. Larry decided on a topic for his doctoral dissertation related to the World Wide Web and search engines.
In 1995, a meeting with Sergei Brin took place. Together they founded Google a couple of years later, patenting the system and giving open access to all Stanford students. Until the 2000th, Page worked as the chief executive of the new company. Since 2001, he decided to transfer powers, starting strategic development work as President of IT Services.
It all started with writing a dissertation. The developers have created a simple search engine BackRub for her. It became the basis for the idea of a world system. Larry actively published works, researched information in the field of data filtering, called the "search engine". Page was fascinated by the project with Brin. The young man completely occupied himself with it. The mistake of the first investor, instead of Googole on the check written by Google, became a turning point in the biographies of both programmers. It was under this name that they registered the invention.
New system
Initially, Google was not a commercial project. The system was created to provide information to all Internet users. The idea began to bring profit only in 2001, after placing tag and contextual advertising. Products and services of interest to users were offered based on tracked requests. Advertisers paid only for clicks to sites.
From that moment on, Page realized the role of organizer and programmer. He has done a lot of research into the futility of many user requests. Other systems looked for the same words in texts. Brin and Page decided to display the data by the number of views. The best ones were selected by the system, and the response was arranged in descending order. In 1997, the domain Google.com was registered, and then the company of the same name.
The creators added funny doodles to the logo. In 1998, a talking man appeared, signifying the founders' trip to Burning Man. In 2006, YouTube hosting was purchased. Until 2015, Larry was engaged in new areas of activity. He launched Google+, Chromebooks, Google Glass, and developed high-speed Fiber internet.
After the reorganization of Google and the formation of Alphabet, the implementation of unique projects started. Page's responsibilities included developing the world's fastest search engine, reviewing venture projects, and analyzing the effectiveness of investment directions. The businessman was involved in financing projects for the development of unmanned vehicles with flying cars.
The original name, meaning a gigantic number, has surpassed the rumble. According to modern data, conventionally, each inhabitant of the planet makes one request per day in the system. In 2006, a charitable foundation to help low-income families was founded.
Private life
In 2007, Larry organized his personal life. His wife was Lucinda Southward, who graduated from Stanford. Her specialty is biometric informatics. Lawrence Edward and Lucinda have been married for over ten years. Page's chosen one is engaged in charity work. She is involved in projects to help South Africa.
All of Lucinda's undertakings are actively supported by her husband. The family has two children. Possessing an outstanding intellect and wit, the entrepreneur is fond of roller hockey, kite surfing. He is busy looking for alternative energy sources, collaborating with developers of electric vehicles, constantly improving his knowledge, striving for new discoveries.
Due to the onset of problems with her vocal cords, Page started funding the Voice Health Institute, which is engaged in research into issues of overcoming voice problems.
Larry Page is one of the twenty richest people in the world according to Forbes. Paige, who became the founder of modern search engines, did not limit himself only to this contribution. His life is not built on the principle of "getting success at any cost."
Since childhood, invention has become the main dream. He wanted to help all users with effective searches. As a result, the businessman-programmer himself achieved incredible financial heights without leaving the rating lists for several years.
