Page’s father was a computer science professor at Michigan State University and his mother Gloria was an instructor in computer programming at Lyman Briggs College at the same institution.
Page was first attracted to computers when he was six years old, as he was able to “play with the stuff lying around”—first-generation personal computers—that had been left by his mother and father.
He became the “first kid in his elementary school to turn in an assignment from a word processor”.
Page attended the Okemos Montessori School now called Montessori Radmoor in Okemos, Michigan, from ages 2 to 7 (1975 to 1979). He attended East Lansing High School graduating in 1991.

As an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, he proposed that the school replace its bus system with a personal rapid transit system, which is essentially a driverless monorail with separate cars for every passenger.
He also developed a business plan for a company that would use software to build a music synthesizer during this time.
In 1998, Brin and Page incorporated Google, Inc. with the initial domain name of “Googol”, derived from a number that consists of one followed by one hundred zeros—representing the vast amount of data that the search engine was intended to explore.
