To all the aspiring entrepreneurs and tech startups out there: Take a page out of the Google co-founder’s handbook. Larry Page, the 42-year-old computer scientist and tech entrepreneur, has charmed the hearts and wallets of America today, launching parent organization Alphabet and saying wise stuff like this:

“We’ve long believed that over time companies tend to get comfortable doing the same thing, just making incremental changes. But in the technology industry, where revolutionary ideas drive the next big growth areas, you need to be a bit uncomfortable to stay relevant.”

With that, Page joins the ranks of Steve Jobs and is bound to end up on an inspirational Internet meme somewhere. Congrats, Larry, you’ve officially made it.

Although Alphabet is a daring move into the unknown, we’re eager to see what comes next from the company that single-handedly got us through college.

A New Chapter in the Life of Google

Google’s decision to restructure under corporate name Alphabet marks a pivotal move towards untethered creative freedom. Page and company hope that Alphabet will provide an organizational structure for the company whose influence has already extended far beyond tech and search.

But don’t worry – Google’s core business, which includes YouTube, Android, Google maps, ads and apps, will remain largely unchanged as a single division within Alphabet. Your relentless Googling of life’s mysteries, such as, “What is the best Halloween costume ever made from beer cans?” will continue uninterrupted.

The rest of the $444 billion empire will be divided up into separate sections, including their anti-aging research (dubbed Calico), delivery drones (known as Project Wing), futuristic headsets (Google Glass) and driverless cars. Apparently the guys and girls over at Google are really getting after it.

The potentially risky shift also marks the end of an era. The tech monolith now seeks to surpass its Web search roots and “turn the company into a multifaceted General Electric for the digital age,” reports the Washington Post’s Drew Harwell and Hayley Tsukayama. Although complicating their carefully curated brand identity, executives nonetheless regard the birth of Alphabet as the “start of a very exciting new chapter in the life of Google.”

Our Take

Google’s refusal to stay comfortable is why they’re taking over the planet and our daily lives. Can you imagine asking actual humans all of the absurd questions that pop into your head at three a.m.?! Since the dawn of the Internet age, Google is the only search engine that has stood the test of time, and often beat it to the punch (honorable mentions go to Yahoo! and Bing). Count us among those excited to see what comes next.
