When you turn on your modem or connect to a Wi-Fi access, you are already online which allows access to the Internet. I previously wrote a post about this at 10 Young People Who Changed the Internet. However, I have to admit that I made lots of mistakes in that post, and this post is to make up for it. So, here goes:
1. Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google Inc.)
おそらく，この中で一番輝く，著名な億万長者だろう．
Larry PageとSergey Brinはインターネットの歴史のなかで一番成功した起業家/開発者の一人だ．
有名なサーチエンジン，Googleのオーナーであり，
これら二人のスタンフォード大博士は，Menlo Park, Californiaのガレージで起業した．
Googleは最初スタンフォード大のウェブサイト(google.stanford.edu)で始まり，
1997年についにGoogle.comのドメインを取得した．
Googleは大体250億ドルの時価総額である．
Perhaps two of the brightest and outstanding billionaires out there, Sergey Brin and Larry Page are one of the world’s most successful Internet entrepreneur/developer ever in history. As the owners of popular web search engine, Google, these two Ph.Ds from Stanford University started in their friend’s garage in Menlo Park, California. Google was first launched on Stanford’s website (google.stanford.edu) and then finally on Google.com as soon as they registered the domain name in 1997. Thus, Google is born and worth at about a staggering $25 billion dollars.

見返りを要求した．
しかし契約書などがない理由から，裁判所は訴えを却下した．
Zuckerbergは約15億ドルの資産をもっている．

He founded the online social networking website, Facebook, which has poised threats to leading social networking site, MySpace and has collapsed other smaller sites.
