谷歌喜欢致力于一些别人未曾发力的事物， CEO 拉里·佩奇也认为谷歌是变革的“代言人”。谷歌已通过 Search 改变了我们获取信息的方式，也通过 Chromecast 改变了我们消费媒体内容的方式，而且还通过 Glass 改变了我们如何消费信息的方式。另外，谷歌还因为其“登月实验室”而闻名。

Google likes to be engaged in things others do not use as much resources as it and its CEO Larry Page also considers Google as the “representative” of change. Google has changed the way we get information with Search, the way we consume media content with Chromecast and the way we consume information with Glass.
