This might be a little exaggeration, but as of today, with Google’s all-inclusive projects (Google Car, Project Loon and Project Soli to name some few, not to forget Google X research facility and its numerous investments in different companies), Google has itself become ‘the scene’.1. Android After acquiring Android in 2005 for $50 million, the software can be seen everywhere. It was with the Android, that the world saw a major boom in the smartphone business, especially for producer countries like China.

Read What exactly is Quantum Computing to know more about this subject.6. Google XNow, if all the above facts didn’t blow your mind, then this definitely would. The world came to know about Google’s secret search facility Google X after its series of special project revelations like Google Car, Project Loon and Project Glass. Overseen by Sergey Brin and scientist Astro Teller, Google X aims to bring science fiction to reality.Google’s semi-secret research lab holds the key to futuristic technologies and directs several robotic and AI companies under it for the purpose.[YOUTUBE]-79uIRQiAFM[/YOUTUBE]These are some of the top projects and business deals that make Google what it is today- Silicon Valley giant.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /></blockquote>
