              An app, short for "application," refers to software designed to perform specific tasks. Apps are developed
              for devices such as smartphones, tablets, or computers. You must have heard people say, Mobile Apps.
              These apps run on Smartphones/Tablets. The term "app" gained more popularity when Apple launched
              its App Store in 2008. Since then this word App has been used for numerous programs. Mobile Apps
              are more cost effective than desktop applications. You can install as many free apps as you want if
              you have enough space in your mobile to operate them. Some apps need Internet accessibility. In this
              chapter, we will learn about Google and its different apps.


                   GOOGLE


              Google  is  a US-based  multinational  technology  organisation
              founded in 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page. It is popularly
              known  for its search engine. In the year  2015, Sergey Brin
              and  Larry Page opened  a new  company named  Alphabet
              Incorporation which took over Google and became the parent
              company  of  other  Google  Subsidiaries.  In  December 2019,
              Sundar Pichai became the CEO of Alphabet Inc. Google's search
              engine can be accessed by typing "www.google.com" into the
              address bar of a web browser, like Chrome and pressing the
              Enter key.
              Few tips for using Google search engine are:

                  Keep the search words simple like stationery shop near me or how the weather will be today.

                   Unable to type! You can use the microphone icon      to speak the search words. You do not have to
                 worry about the spelling mistakes.






                        The name 'Google' was derived from a misspelling of its original planned name, 'GOOGOL',
                        which means a mathematical term for the number one followed by 100 zeroes.
