Lawrence Edward Page was born in Lansing, Michigan on March 26, 1973 and is currently 49 years old. He studied computer science at Stanford University and founded Google, the most widely used search engine in the world and the most visited site on the internet. Larry Page worked alongside Sergey Brin, a fellow computer science student to build Google from the ground up. The creation of Google greatly impacted the field of computer science by revolutionizing the process of surfing the web, making it far easier to access information on the internet than ever before. Page ended up acquiring multiple companies such as the video sharing site known as YouTube and DoubleClick, a advertisement company that showed commercials based on users search preferences. Page received the Marconi Prize in 2004 and has a net worth of 76.8 billion USD. Fun Fact: the prototype search engine created by Larry Page and Sergey Brin was curiously named "BackRub"!

In his youth, John McCarthy attended the California Institute of Technology until he was suspended for failing to attend physical education classes. after being readmitted into the California Institute of Technology, he obtained a Bachelor of science degree in 1948. He went on to earn a a PhD in mathematics from Princeton in 1951. He later became a professor at MIT and Stanford, where he accomplished most of his crowning accomplishments. McCarthy did many things such as creating the programming languages Lisp and ALGOL and "garbage collection" a form of memory management. McCarthy's greatest achievement, however, was pioneering the field of Artificial Intelligence. He coined the term Artificial Intelligence and established the Stanford AI Laboratory. He received many awards such as the Turing Award, Computer Pioneer Award, the IJCAI Award for Research Excellence, the Kyoto Prize, National Medal of Science, and the Benjamin Franklin Medal.
