But The Search offers much more than the inside story of Googles triumph. Its also a big-picture book about the past, present, and future of search technology and the enormous impact its starting to have on marketing, media, pop culture, dating, job hunting, international law, civil liberties, and just about every other sphere of human interest. Battelle draws on more than 350 interviews with major players from Silicon Valley to Seattle to Wall Street, including Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt, as well as competitors like Louis Monier, who invented AltaVista, and Neil Moncrief, a soft-spoken Georgian whose business Google built, destroyed, and built again. Battelle reveals how search technology actually works, explores the amazing power of targeted advertising, and reports on the frenzy of the Google IPO, when the company tried to rewrite the rules of Wall Street and declared Dont Be Evil to be its corporate motto.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=534480 Marie Winn demonstrates that television has a negative impact on child development, school achievement, and family life.
