As of Oct 2, Google is now under the umbrella of Alphabet. So, what is the difference?

What's the difference between Google and Alphabet?

My understanding was that...

• Google becomes a part of Alphabet.
• Everything internet-related (search, Gmail, etc.) would stay under Google.
• Products outside of Google (glucose-sensing contact lenses, self-driving cars, etc.) would be just under Alphabet.
