Brin said as much in his 2012 Google founders' letter, dated April 25, 2013, on Google's Google+ feed, even as he concludes on a note of caution. "Still, we need to continue to work hard to ensure that our contributions are decidedly beneficial--helping people to lead easier, richer and more fulfilling lives," wrote Brin. |  JOIN THE CONVERSATION Posted By NJ Mike: "I'm 51 years old, but I can still remember phone numbers of my friends when I was a teen-ager.
