This week we'd like to wish a very happy 15th Birthday to Google! By now, the company has produced a smartphone, developed a web-browser, and acquired a number of other popular websites. But this story from a 2002 edition of the Today Show introduced Google to viewers when it was simply a search engine. Here, we see co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin discuss their website, we get a tour of the Google "campus" near Palo Alto, California, and we're shown several of the many uses for such a powerful search engine. While we might not know what Google will come up with next, we hope you enjoy seeing where it all began.
