California tech giant Google offers a connected experience for modern lifestyles. Founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 1998, Google began as a dorm room project and has since become a brand ubiquitously tied to contemporary life. Among Google’s contributions to the Internet of Things—a network of devices designed to communicate with each other—are unobtrusive pastel and monochrome smart speakers that allow for immersive listening in any interior space. Understated cameras and doorbells recognize packages, people, pets, and vehicles, delivering high-definition video to smart displays via the Google Home app. The Nest Hub, central to any smart home collection, offers a gamut of functions, including audio and video streaming, as well as the ability to control compatible devices through its dashboard. Committed to sustainability, Google uses recycled and responsibly sourced materials to create smart products for better living.
