Google is full of surprises. Very few companies can spark such discussions when they change their logo. But there's so much more than Google meets the eye and the purpose of this book is to take you through the depths of Google's ocean, so you never have to Google it ever again. There are three tech companies in the world that most of us will have heard of: Microsoft, Apple and Google. However, only Google has managed to infiltrate our lives in a complete way in a relatively short period and the reach is growing all of the time. Millions of us use Google services for email and even more utilise the company for web searches on desktop computers, laptops, phones and tablets. It does not stop there, though, because the superbly reliable calendar software organises individuals and companies alike, and even online video is dominated by Google thanks to YouTube. All of this is incredibly impressive, but it is just the tip of an ever-growing iceberg and the more we think about Google, the more advantages we find. We can navigate for free anywhere in the world and view 3D re-creations of famous places using Google Maps. We can store and share our photos online whenever the mood strikes us and Google Now is there to automatically prompt us when an event is happening, or to offer information that is pertinent to what we are doing next.
