#5 The Name
So by any chance, if you hear 'Alphabet' with google, do not be surprised. It is a new venture of Google. But getting back to the name, Do you think the new name "Alphabet" is a bit jarring, considering you're so used to talking and typing out "Google" every single day? Well, Alphabet's priorities are on the future, so there's certainly time to get used to the new naming convention and the wide scope of what it does.
#4 Why Google co-founders made this change?
This is one question that everyone wants an answer of. "Sergey and I are seriously in the business of starting new things," explained Alphabet CEO Larry Page. The Alphabet plan is to have more management scale by appointing strong CEOs for each business, and running various operations independently without them having to be very related.
#3 Alphabet's key projects
For the ones who are interested, here we tell you about couple of future projects of Alphabet.
Calico: This is Alphabet's most life-altering project with the mission of tackling age and extended human lifespan. No big deal. If there's one company that can find the fountain of youth, it's one that owns Google.
Fiber: It is also going to be managed separately, piping in super-fast 1GB internet and cable television into homes at an affordable price. Hopefully this means deployment picks up.
#2 How Google changes with Alphabet?
With Alphabet coming in, google won't completely be sidelined. Search, Android, Chrome, YouTube, and Google Maps remain at the subsidiary. The same applies to new machine learning processes like Google Photos and Google Now. What it does change is who is in charge. Sundar Pichai is the new CEO of Google, after serving as Google's senior vice president of products and helming Google IO 2015.
#1 Larry Page On Alphabet
Lets see what Larry Page had to say about this new organisation. According to Google co-founder, Alphabet CEO, "this new structure will allow us to keep tremendous focus on the extraordinary opportunities we have inside of Google. A key part of this is Sundar Pichai. Sundar has been saying the things I would have said (and sometimes better!) for quite some time now, and I’ve been tremendously enjoying our work together. He has really stepped up since October of last year, when he took on product and engineering responsibility for our internet businesses."
