Googleplex — Attraction in Mountain View

Let’s talk about the representation for Black History Month!!!!! (snap Snap) thank you. Now- back to your normal programming.

This review is from an external consumer. Hi Google. (Googly eyes) I don’t use Google for Everything-but the things I use them for just works for my way of life and I just appreciate them. Let’s run them down:

Google Maps: I LOVE maps (not for navigation but because I can find businesses I experience and review them; I love doing reviews however it’s not the sole consumption of my life) but I think other consumers should be able to see a businesses’ interaction from the true experience of the customer and not through emails and customer relations, etc. Hops off Soap Box. Some reviews I’ve posted on Maps have gotten several views and that’s the part I like. Google also sends these little emails that say, “Your contribution is helping!” And it shows how many people have viewed your photos/reviews. So to put it into context-my first review was 5 years ago and over that length of time my review views went up and so did Google’s email to me recognizing my “contributions.” So yea-Google Maps

Google Photos: It’s a growing relationship but I’m feeling it. My aha moment with Photos was when Apple wouldn’t allow you to copy and paste photos from your IPhone to a folder on your desktop. I’m only comparing Apple simply because that’s the product I used prior to transitioning to Google. Now-if you don’t know what I’m talking about in short-since I started with Apple’s first iPhone and have had each one-you used to be able to plug the phone into the computer, open the phone like a file folder-and copy and paste. Now, there are so many securities and this and that I was fed up (I did reach out to Customer Service to no avail several times). I’ve since gathered all my photos from Apple and transferred them to Google Photos…but Google….I don’t know how many pictures, videos, etc. I have. I can’t find it anywhere-the actual count of items in your storage. So I’m still working on it.

You Tube TV: I think this is a Google Product 🤷🏾‍♀️ idk and I’m not too consumed to know but I’m coming into enjoying this product also. Very convenient to the...

As of late they have done alot of updates to fix some sacurity issues. It's nice that they took the time after charging me 750$ in google fees for a phone call suport over hacking issues Don't trust them when their staff say call this google number... Was a google number with fees They have been allowing hackers to take over your account And instead of having number to contact google about serious issues. It seems they treat us like a low class persons with disabilities like we are in the 40s its a joke and they want hackers to steel your identity they have added new sacurity features to see who's loved in under what devices and visible linked phone numbers for people who use that as fake recovery..... What kind of company with so much money and power can't provide a safe and secure place for peoples emails and phones. Visible managers or administratiors should be a must. So u can see linked YouTubes and other accounts asoshiated to it. I thought your phone's are unhacklble. My perverbial behind they are . They are Uselease Piace's of trash pulled from the land fill next door.... if you ask me, it's a waist of money. Don't buy a google phone if don't want to get hacked. If you do buy a google phone.... Waist of space as of late.. so very disappointed in my pixle Still locked out of a my my YouTube and asoshiated gmails n you think it's a joke. Where is the serious support for peoples that need it. What weight. I'm right you dont give a shimata. So you don't offer suport. So I'd say Don't use google if you want to get hacked and they are not thier to support you if you need it and Protect you or offer serious protection or custermer support.. this change needs to happen. Now more then ever as the internet isn't safe anymore... Use Microsoft or a reputable company apple that can provide adequate safety and support... google Get your heads out of the sand your to far under the sand and you can't see the world around you.. u want to provide a service then u should provide a support system for...

The Googleplex is the corporate headquarters complex of Google and its parent company, Alphabet Inc. It is located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View, California, in Silicon Valley.

The original complex, with 2 million square feet (190,000 square meters) of office space, is the company's second largest square footage assemblage of Google buildings, after Google's 111 Eighth Avenue building in New York City, which the company bought in 2010.

"Googleplex" is a portmanteau of Google and complex (meaning a complex of buildings) and a reference to googolplex, the name given to the large number 10(10100), or 10googol.

SGI Campus

The site was previously occupied by Silicon Graphics (SGI). The office space and corporate campus is located within a larger 26-acre (11-hectare) site that contains Charleston Park, a 5-acre (2-hectare) public park; improved access to Permanente Creek; and public roads that connect the corporate site to Shoreline Park and the Bay Trail. The project, launched in 1994, was built on the site of one of the few working farms in the area and was city owned at the time (identified as "Farmer's Field" in the planning documents). It was a creative collaboration between SGI, STUDIOS Architecture, SWA Group, and the Planning and Community Development Agency of the City of Mountain View.[citation needed] The objective was to develop in complementary fashion the privately owned corporate headquarters and adjoining public greenspace. Key design decisions placed parking for nearly 2000 cars underground, enabling SWA to integrate the two open spaces with water features, shallow pools, fountains, pathways, and plazas. The project was completed in 1997. The ASLA noted that the SGI project was a significant departure from typical corporate campuses, challenging conventional thinking about private and public space and awarded the project the ASLA Centennial Medallion in 1999.

Architecture was the architect for the original SGI campus and provided both interior architecture and base...
