The workers in there work even better because they can feel free to express themselves, they can do what they want, things that you would never imagine, such as gym, free food, massages, laundry, cars, all of that for free for the employees to feel more comfortable and for them to like their jobs, if they like their job they would eventually work better and the results of that better working would make Google improve even more than usual.
2. How does employee freedom, like the 20% of free time Google encourages its employees to spend on any project they want, deliver better business?
Because the employees can just do something wild, out of the usual, something that they think that would make google better, it improves a lot the way google is friendly with the users and it also makes the people feel more relative to the program. The employees have that 20% of their time to do anything they want, any wild idea, modification project they have on mind that I they think is a good idea google would automatically modify google to that idea, that also makes the people that work there to feel like their ideas do matter in a huge way and that what they do if is creative would be taken into consideration.
3. What are the requirements to work for Google? And what is different about the way they hire employees at Google?
You need to be really creative, creative enough to come up with designs, to think out o the box and think different than others because they would obviously wont need a normal person but someone that has potential an that's worth the try, you need to be able to work with a team, have leadership because most of the time you would be working with a new project in the one you have to be the leader and come up with great ideas
4. How many search queries does Google handle a day?
Every day Google answers more than one billion questions from people around the globe in 181 countries in 146 different languages
5. In your own words discuss how Google's constantly refined search algorithm changed the way we all access and even think about information.
Having algorithms does really helps people specially when you're not really sure about what you're going to search so you jut type in a few words, and it also makes the search easier because it immediately searches for information that they consider accurate, which most of the time is right.
6. Take a look at the following story about Google's top secret data center. Now why would Google want to keep its server room as a secret?
Because if everybody could access to the data center the way that Google works could be copied from other search engines, and then Google would no longer be unique or special and yet not the best searching web page world-wide.
7. What are the benefits of working as a Google employee?
There are many services and is a friendly environment. Its all amazing, from getting free food, to free doctors visit and much more. You have free time that you could spend it in the library or in other places and the offices are different making working for Google a joyful experience.
you can clean your clothes in their installations, there are different restaurants and you can eat in them by free, also there is a room for the employees that has fish tanks so they can relax and after it work better, also they have sleep balls.
8. Name at least 5 different positions at Google (ex: software engineer, Google tester, interaction designer) and describe what they do?
- Google glasses

- driver-less cars
- clean energy
- new drugs
9. Talk about at least 3 projects that Google is currently working on. What do they want to accomplish? How long will they take to complete?
-Google Glass- Lets you read your tweets, and a lot of other things without having to pull out your phone. It is expected to release a consumer version of Glass next year.
-Android Home- Aims to connect your entire house to the internet like something out of a sci-fi movie. No date or known time to get this done.

10. Look at the following story about why recent college graduates should not work for Google. Why does the writer argue recent graduates should not work at Google?
the prefer that the recent graduates create heir own companies that to work for a company that is already one of the best ones in the world, the want new companies in the market to make competition to Google.
He thinks is no longer a start-up because he thinks is better for working in a small company. If they worked for a small company they have more responsibilities than just following a crowd of people. Is better to do and accomplish someone's little idea or project and make it happen.
11. How is Google the same or different than other search engines, like Yahoo or Bing?
Google gives stuff for free while Yahoo and Bing doesn't. Google is the leader in Searching all over the world and in addition a very mature and sophisticated search engine. Bing is infancy and has yet to develop some of the rich indexing capabilities that exist with Google. Bing does not offer Canonical URL management in their Webmaster Center.
