You might have noticed that the Google page is so bare and simple. The reason behind this is that when the Internet giant was just starting, no one in the team knew how to design the page to make it more interesting.

Even the name of the website turned to be a mistake. The founders of Google really wanted it to be called as "Googol". But the mistake seemed beneficial for them, anyway.

These days, Google has become both a noun and a verb, and has become a part of every Internet user's life. Below is a rundown of some amazing features that Google offers, which you should start using to make things easier:

Google Public Data Explorer - Internet users are aware of the Google normal search. But Google has actually a specialized search site, too called the Google Public Data Explorer. Visit Google Public Data and then type the topic you wish to research. For instance, if you need on US unemployment rate, simply key in the keywords, and the search results will include easy-to-read graphs. You also have the option to have specific data such as data disaggregated according to gender and age.

Google definition - Through this feature, you will not only get the meaning of the words you are not familiar with. Google will also provide a guide on how to pronounce it.

Google Sky - If you find Google Earth amazing, then be ready for Google Sky as it can blow your mind. It allows you to "search the heavens" and take a peek of the planets, stars, satellites, and galaxies.

Google nGrams - This allows you to determine the frequency of words that is used for instance in five million books published since the 1800s. You may also see which books used the specific word you have searched.
