Everyone knows who Google is, at least sort of.\u00a0 The search engine giant has become so popular it has turned itself from a company name into an actual verb (I Googled it.).\u00a0 Its name is also attached to advertising, smartphones, and digital payment wallets.\u00a0 Google is everywhere.<\/p>

It is even in more places than you might think.\u00a0 Google is only one silo under the publicly traded company Alphabet (NASDAQ stock symbol).\u00a0 Alphabet also owns YouTube, Fitbit, Mandiant (cyber security), Looker (business intelligence software), Nest (smart home products), Waze (mobile navigation), and DoubleClick (that\u2019s the advertising arm).<\/p>

Alphabet has found a way to completely encircle the digital landscape.\u00a0 As an end user of virtually anything, it is nearly impossible to escape daily engagement with at least some portion of the Google empire.\u00a0 As an investor, however, it is easy to escape them and here are few reasons why you should.<\/p>
