Have you ever imagined life with Google. The search engine and its various services including Google Maps, Google Chrome, Google Glass, Chromecast and others have become an integral part of our life and our daily routine. Whenever we are in problem, the first solution coming to mind is Google. Whether its browsing, sharing emails, chat or finding locations or directions, we simply Google and use its range of services.

10 years ago, search giant Google entered into the initial public offering (IPO) and since then it continued to grow. It set many paths and laid many projects with an aim to redefine the interconnectivity with technology.
Let’s have a look at the top ten Google products and the search engine’s journey so far:

Google Self-Driving Car

In May, Google launched a prototype of its first self-driving car but unfortunately it didn’t receive a go ahead to bring the vehicle on open road. According to the company, the autonomous vehicles were developed with an idea that they could lessen or completely remove the burden of travel for many. A self-driving car could prove to be a wonderful car for many people especially elderly who might not otherwise be able to drive or those who are drunk. Hence, they could keep a check on rash driving.
Google Shopping Express
The tech giant’s next endeavor is the shopping express. It entered into business of same-day delivery of physical goods at customers’ home. With this development, the web users were able to shop inventory from several online stores from Google’s Shopping Express site. They were also offered with the option of selecting their favorable delivery time and place and a Google Express delivery person will get that for you. Currently the services are only available in parts of Manhattan and California.
Project Loon

With Project Loon, Google aimed at interconnecting the world with internet service. The tech giant found the solution in balloons as they believed these flying objects may solve the problem of poor or no internet access in areas that lacks proper infrastructure for the same.
Google Glass
Google Glass is the futuristic eyewear that could click your photo and overlays your digital information into the real world.

Chrome
Google Chrome, the name which has became a routine now for almost everyone, is one of the fastest web browsers available in the market. It was released five years ago and now it has over 750 million users.
