Google's Larry Page released a letter last August 2015 announcing the re-configuring of Google into a conglomerate called Alphabet.It described Alphabet as a new holding company that would be composed of the following independent operating units:

• The Google search engine and related businesses—including Android, Gmail, and YouTube, to name a few;
• Calico - the health care company whose goal is to lengthen life expectancy;
• Verily - the home of the company’s "smart" contact lens;
• X previously Google X) - its R&D arm;
• DeepMind - artificial intelligence;
