In class today, we watched “Inside the Mind of Google,” which was originally broadcast on CNBC on February 9, 2010. We then compared it to the entries in Wikipedia for “Google” and “Googlization.” Here are some questions you can respond to either as a comment on this post, or as a comment on another post that one of your classmates has published about today’s discussion, or as your own original post.
- What are three things that you learned about Google that you think are essential to understanding the company? Defend why those things are important to an understanding of Google?
- If you could make an updated version of the video, what content would you add?
- If you were about to start a research project that involved Google in some way, which source would give you a better overview: the video or the Wikipedia entry on Google?
