With so much information out there in the world, and everything turning digital, getting the information was hard. And at the start of the World Wide Web, search engines were few and far between; very hard to come by. That did not stop Blake Ross. Many do not know him for his name however, but for what he created: Mozilla FireFox, the search engine.
When people were first starting out the idea of gathering information from the internet was very cool, however, getting the information was a challenge. When the Web first came out, many people stuck to the original base search engine that came with the computer. It was hard to manage and navigate on, and allowed many people to not want to search information online. This gave Ross a great idea, create an easy to use search engine that could be interchanged on many devices – from Apple, to Microsoft, and even Sony – FireFox is a staple when it comes to search engines. It is very easy to use and has eliminated headaches of users.
The Mozilla FireFox search engine was released when Ross was only 19. He goes to show that you do not have to be from money, or even out of your teenage years to make a major life impact on the world. He took an idea, matched it to a problem and got to work. He establish, what today is considered a leading search engine, for computers all over the world, and released it at only 19. He is the definition of entrepreneur. He took an every day problem and created a solution.
As an avid user of Firefox, I still never knew it was created by such a young entrepreneur. Initially I though Firefox was an out of date, lesser version of other browsers, but as I become more security conscience, I have discovered the pleasure of their bolstered privacy settings. Firefox truly written as an open source browser is innovative in nature.
