Google today celebrates 25 years of educating the world through its search engine. The tech giant is celebrating its birthday by dedicating today’s doodle to itself and acknowledging the users for building this company.
“Our homepage doodle today honors the evolution of the Google logo, and if you search for (or hum) birthday-related queries, you might see a little surprise. But mostly, we want to say thanks.”
Thanks to the power of technology, today anyone can log on and search anything on Google, a ton of information will come out.
As the saying goes, time flies while having fun: “Twenty-five years ago we launched Google Search to help you find answers to questions big and small. Since then, billions of people have turned to our products to do just that — to satisfy their curiosity. To start a business. To start a journey. To cut a pineapple,” said Google in a blog post.
“As Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote earlier this month, it’s an enormous privilege to reach this milestone — and we haven’t done it alone. We may be a technology company, but Google is what it is today because of people: Our employees, our partners, and most importantly, all the people who use our products.”
Google went on to say apart from building a search engine, they also gave birth to other products including Google Images and other tools that are being used daily.
“So as we celebrate our 25th birthday today, we’re also celebrating 25 years of your curiosity. After all, your curiosity is what has fueled us — and our progress. Consider that in 2000 so many people rushed to Google seeking photos of Jennifer Lopez’s daring Grammy’s dress that it became the most popular search query. That search returned 10 blue links, but no green dress. So our engineers went to work, brainstorming new ways to index images alongside webpages and Google Images was born, enabling you to find that one photo you’re in search of faster than ever before.”
“From all of us at Google, thanks for an amazing 25 years. Here’s to many more years of curiosity,” Google concludes.
