Today, Google is throwing a virtual birthday bash like no other, celebrating its 25th year with a dazzling and unique Google Doodle. While Google is usually all about looking ahead, birthdays offer a moment to pause and reflect on the incredible journey it’s been on. So, let’s raise a digital toast to Google’s quarter-century milestone!
In a world that’s always racing forward, it’s heartwarming to see how far Google has come in its quest to make the internet a more accessible and informative place. Happy 25th, Google!
25 years ago, in the late 1990s, two bright minds, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, were pursuing their doctoral degrees in computer science at Stanford University. Fate brought them together, and they soon realized they shared a powerful vision: to make the vast World Wide Web more accessible to everyone.
Fuelled by their passion, Sergey and Larry embarked on a journey that would change the digital landscape forever. Their modest beginnings took shape in the cozy confines of their dorm rooms, where they began crafting the initial blueprint for what would become a revolutionary search engine.
As the days turned into weeks and their vision gained momentum, they decided it was time to take their dream to the next level. In a move that would go down in history, they relocated their growing operation to Google’s first-ever office, a humble rented garage. Little did they know that this garage would become the birthplace of a tech giant.
Finally, on September 27, 1998, the world witnessed the official founding of Google Inc. It was the beginning of a remarkable journey that would not only redefine how we search for information but also change the way we connect with the world. Sergey Brin and Larry Page had set out to enhance web accessibility, and their dedication would lead to the creation of a digital behemoth that continues to shape our online experiences to this day.
