Inside the World of Google | |
||||||
|
 |
In less than a decade, Google has transformed itself from a Silicon Valley start-up to one of the richest media companies in the world. In these documentaries produced for the BBC World Service, Mike Embley looks into the story behind the world's biggest search engine, and examines where Google is going. | |

PART 1  |
Google is the brainchild of two men, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Today, they are each worth an estimated ten-billion dollars. Their former landlady, who leased them her garage as office space in their start-up days, is now Google’s Vice President of Product Management. And employees at the Googleplex, as corporate headquarters are called, enjoy free onsite gourmet meals, massages, volleyball – and subsidized take-out meals if they’re new parents. Mike Embley takes us “Inside the World of Google.” |

Google has transformed the way we use computers. But our internet searches may not be as private as we once assumed, and our computer screens are becoming more like two-way mirrors. Mike Embley reports on how Google navigates online privacy issues. |
