September 27, 2023, is a big occasion in the tech world – Google’s 25th birthday. This American multinational tech company’s journey had humble beginnings and the entire journey has been nothing short of remarkable.
In the mid-90s, two brilliant minds, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, emerged as doctoral students in Stanford University’s computer science program. Little did they know that their collaboration would forever change the world’s digital landscape. He initially started a research project called “Backrub”, which eventually transformed into the search engine we now know as Google.
When is Google birthday?
Google was founded on September 4, 1998, but the company began celebrating its anniversary in 2005, on September 27, when an announcement was made that it was moving away from the pages it indexed.
What was the first Google Doodle?
The first Google Doodle came not long after Google. It was simple – when co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin took time out to attend the Burning Man festival in 1998, a stick man was placed over the search engine’s logo.
Since then, over 5,000 unique Google Doodles have been created, from Valentine’s Day to the Ice Cream Sundae anniversary in 2011. Now, a team of engineers and illustrators, called Doodlers, are responsible for the various Google Doodles.
Google Future
Earlier this month, Google CEO Sundar Pichai in a blog post shared his thoughts on the company’s future, especially its opportunities with AI. Google is entering its next quarter-century where it is competing with other powerful companies in every product segment. AI is one of the biggest opportunities that Google is trying to take advantage of and it is already one of the top names in this field. Google may need even more innovation and influence to maintain its top position over the next 25 years.
