Larry Page And Sergey Brin; The Duo That Created Google

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were two computer science students at Stanford University, looking for a way to make searching online easier. They created what we now know as Google, an internet search engine that revolutionized how people access information online. Here is how their story goes:

LARRY AND SERGEY GROWING UP

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were born in the same city in the same year. They were born less than a year apart. Larry Page was born on September 12, 1973, in Lansing, Michigan, and Sergey Brin was born on October 28, 1971, in Moscow.

Larry Page grew up in West Lafayette, Indiana, where he attended Purdue University. He later transferred to Stanford University, where he earned his undergraduate degree in computer science. While at Stanford, Larry Page worked for the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL).

Sergey Brin grew up in Moscow but moved to the United States when he was 18. He attended M.I.T., receiving a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and computer science in 1985. After graduating from M.I.T., Sergey Brin attended Stanford University, where he received his master’s degree in computer science in 1986 and his doctoral degree in computer science in 1990 (all degrees are from Stanford University).
