Everybody is familiar with the bright colorful circle of the Google icon but many do not
know the man behind the mystery. Born in 1973, Larry Page is a wealthy billionaire who didn’t
start off that way. His parents were computer genius’s probably prompting him to do computer
engineering at Stanford University. At this university he met his friend and co-founder of
Google, Sergey Brinn (A&E, 1996-2013). A&E (1996-2013) states that they “called the search
