Larry Page • He followed in his mother and father’s footsteps as both were Computer Science professors at Michigan State. • He grew up learning all about computers. • His older brother also taught him to take things apart and before long he was taking "everything in his house apart to see how it worked". He said that "from a very early age, I also realized I wanted to invent things. So I became really interested in technology and business. Probably from when I was 12, I knew I was going to start a company eventually

  6. Page and Brin • Page had reasoned that the "entire Web was loosely based on the premise of citation – after all, what is a link but a citation? If he could devise a method to count and qualify each backlink on the Web, as Page puts it 'the Web would become a more valuable place‘ • To convert the backlink data gathered by BackRub's web crawler into a measure of importance for a given web page, Brin and Page developed the PageRank algorithm, and realized that it could be used to build a search engine far superior to existing ones.

  7. Sergey Brin • He is a Soviet-born American who moved to America at the age of 6. • He got an Undergrad at the University of Maryland and went to Stanford for his Ph. D. in Computer Science. • His mother is a Math Professor and his father was a researcher at NASA.
