Extra new, the genius of Google

The genius who invented the Google engine, whom nobody knows is called Massimo Marchiori, a professor of Computer Science University of Padua.
The world of science and technology sometimes resembles a large vanity fair. The search for the medal, the prize, the recognition or the glory of passing to history as one of those human beings who made a contribution to the advancement of humanity, lead to unfair forgetfulness and relegate to the background to Many anonymous geniuses. We live surrounded by objects that make us the simplest things, and that were created thanks to the ingenuity of women and men of whom we do not know the name. We can all list the names of those who were Tomas Alva Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Guillermo Marconi or Isaac Peral. But few know who was the engineer who discovered that the waves used by the radars could be used to cook popcorn. Although most of us take advantage of their idea every day to heat the milk in a microwave oven.
Massimo Marchiori is one of those guys. His name is completely unknown to most of us and yet it is possible that some of those who are reading this have now come to this page thanks to him. Because Marchiori is the mathematician who devised the famous Google algorithm. From his head came the heart of the beast, the secret that has led the company to become one of the most powerful technology companies in the world. The funny thing is that Marchiori, after presenting it at an international conference, gave up his idea for the development of Larry Page and Sergey Brin. In a time when all the young people related to technology, even tangentially, are looking to become millionaires and to enter that rockstars club in which Internet gurus have become, Marchiori chose to continue investigating. And don't regret: "making money for a certain company and increasing my bank account is not what I want to do in life."
The Italian, who after spending some years at MIT lives and works near Venice, insists that his goal has always been to do something to improve people's lives and that this can not be achieved from a company that is bound by Income statement. That is why, he says, he does not envy the founders of Google, since he says he only needs "a place to sleep and time to think". This freedom is what makes you notice the development of the Internet, with Google at the top, with the analytical distance of real scientists, and considers that the time has come for us to change the way we relate to the network: "until Now the seekers are like the oracle of Delphi: you put the key words and you wait to obtain the result ".
Marchiori works in a more dialogic type of search engine, which includes a social dimension and in which the artificial intelligence behind us allows us to interact with the Internet more naturally. The goal, in short, is to make technology a more human space: "those who understand how good technology is made know that in the end what has to be is a heart behind," says Marchiori. Undoubtedly, the Italian deserves a place in our memory; Much less Percy Specser, the inventor of the microwave, has a building in Massachusetts that bears his name.

I chose this new because before that I didn't now who was the genius who invented the Google engine, so if I didn't I think most of you don't know him too.
