Project 10¹⁰⁰ - Call for ideas to help change the World

By K D Mains

Google as part of their 10th Birthday Celebrations have made the call for ideas to help change the World for the better for as many people as possible. Going by the name Project 10¹⁰⁰ or "10 to the 100th Project".

The call for ideas to help make the World a better place for as many people as possible is in the same vein as Google TM own philosophy when it comes to the actual Google search engine its self.

Google have strived to make search results better for people making things easier and quicker to find and now Google are taking this same philosophy to a whole new level with Project 10¹⁰⁰. So the call is Google want to hear about ideas that can help as many people as possible.

The Project 10¹⁰⁰name comes from Googol the mathematical calculation that Google takes its own name from.

I personally think it is wonderful that Google have chosen to put the 10 to the 100th call out to the public. Google make the statement that studies are showing that the wisdom that helping others is best way to increase happiness makes total sense. Another philoshpy Google with Project Project 10¹⁰⁰are putting into practise in a very real way. Helpingg others to be happy increases ones own happiness and beats just being wealthy and unhappy any day.
