Happy Birthday! Google is world's most powerful 10-year-old

When Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google Inc. on Sept. 7, 1998, they had little more than their ingenuity, four computers and an investor's $100,000 bet on their belief that an Internet search engine could change the world.

It sounded preposterous 10 years ago, but look now: Google draws upon a gargantuan computer network, nearly 20,000 employees and a $150 billion market value to redefine media, marketing and technology.

Perhaps Google's biggest test in the next decade will be finding a way to pursue its seemingly boundless ambitions without triggering a backlash that derails the company.

MSNBC.com wants to know what you think. Can Google maintain it's sonic mobility in the decade to come? The ever-expanding search engine certainly has changed the Internet -- but how has it changed your world? And is it for better or worse? What do you think we have to look forward to (or fear?) from Google in the years ahead?

      Google is amazing. How the heck did they get all that information online for us all?!

        I think we should more worry about what are they going to do with all those information they had collected.
