Ten years ago, trust is a word that you won’t often hear mentioned when talking about the Internet. But as people’s lives became more intertwined with computers and as computers continued to push towards a networked model, trust becomes more and more of an issue. How did the issue of trust become such big thing to the Internet community? The answer probably lies in the story of one of the biggest Internet success story so far – the story of Google, and how it revolutionized search.

Although Google did not invent the search engine, it was the first technology company that successfully created a search engine that gave search results of exceptional quality and relevance. Because of this, users started to become more dependent to the Google search engine in finding information on the Internet. Google became our first destination in our quest for the answers to most of our day to day quest for information. Suddenly we find ourselves searching Google or other search engines for our most personal issues.
