An increasing number of IT professionals have been finding it difficult to handle emotional stress, according to experts. An ‘occupational hazard,' the stress related to work needs to be addressed without delay, they emphasise. “Coping with stress and striving for mental health welfare should be a matter of concern for all and not treated simply as a lifestyle problem of the ‘IT phenomenon',” says Nithya Chandrasekaran, a consultant physician for many IT companies in the city.

Larry and Sergey decide the name of their search engine needs to change and decide upon Google, which is inspired from the term googol. They later register the google.com domain on September 15, 1997 and incorporated the name on September 4, 1998.
