There was a 60 Minutes segment on Tuesday about the different "Titans of Tech."
The founders of Google were part of this segment. One of the founders had this interactive globe on a screen that shows all the places in the world where google searches are being performed. It is shown by streams of all different colors and dots streaming out of each country. The dots show how many searches are going on each second and the different color lights represent what language they are being searched in.
At the headquarters in Silicon Valley, there is ping pong tables set up and there is a volleyball game every day at noon on their own beach volleyball court.
The founder of e-bay just randomly decided to play around with codes one day and came up with the site. He made it on labor day in 1995 and weeks later people started posting items to sell.
More founders of things like Napster and Amazon were on it listing their reasons of why they started these programs like they wanted to just fool around one day or they wanted to live their life and take chances so they wouldn't have regrets when they were older.
These guys make it sound sooo easy!
