Prelude:
Popularity of internet has just increased drastically since its development in 1983. However in the early stages of development of internet people didnt know what the internet was and even didnt know how to use it.

In 1995, Larry page (22yrs old) and Sergey Brin (21yrs old) met in the Stanford University and became friends. They started collaborating with search engine 'Back Rub'. During that period of time search engines were not that smart and didnt provide relevant answers what we search or ask for. On September 15th 1997 'Back rub' was changed into google.com
