Life at Google

Life at google would be crazy!  It would take a lot of commitment to be there everyday and on your day off, still have to go into work.  I think working at Google would be amazing, but I don't think I'd be smart enough to get a job there.  Watching that video gave me a whole different outlook on Google.  I thought it was just some search engine, but it's much bigger than that!  They are constantly working on ways to improve life and keep their website the best.  They've definitely got dedication!  The building is like nothing I've ever seen before!  I had imagined a big white place with little pods and computers and a lot of rooms where they were working on different things.  I never had any interest in Google before now and it is surprising to me how secretive they are.  It's a very smart thing, but incredibly intreaging!  I would love to work at Google, but I'm not sure I would want to put all of my time into it.

  1. Hey... what video are you referring to? My sister works at Google and she really likes it. I know she works her butt off but reaps the benefits too. PLUS she gets to bring her dog to work, which is VERY cool in my book! :-)

  2. It was a C-Span interview with Ken Auletta about his book, Googled: The End of the World as We Know It. My teacher has it linked on our class blog. Here's her site:
