The Men Who Continue to Organize the World's Information Will Receive Marconi Foundation Prize, the Highest Award in Engineering

Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who as Stanford graduate students successfully created the Google search engine, have been named the 2004 Fellows of the Marconi Foundation at Columbia University. In announcing their selection, John Jay Iselin, the Foundation's president, congratulated the two men for their invention that has fundamentally changed the way information is retrieved today.

The two award winners will join a select cadre of 32 of the world's most influential communications technology pioneers who since 1975 have been awarded the honor named for Guglielmo Marconi, 1909 recipient of the Nobel Prize for pioneering wireless transmissions.

Tim Berners-Lee, 2002 Marconi Fellowship recipient, said, "Google held a mirror up to us, reflecting the myriad little actions of linking as a set of concepts which society has discussed and sought."
