Google celebrates its birthday on 27 September. It was founded twenty years ago today. To celebrate, Google out up this colourful video doodle.
The Google Doodle features letter-shaped balloons attached to a gift box.
The video presents popular searches from around the globe over the past two decades, including “Is Pluto still a plant?”, “How does autotune work?”, the Royal Wedding, “How do you pronounce ‘GIF’?”, the Mayan Calendar, and avocado toast.
The video ends on a note of gratitude as Google thanks the world in different languages.
“A Stroll Down Memory Lane,” Says Google
This what Google said in their official statement on their 20th birthday.
“Twenty (ish) years ago, two Stanford Ph.D. students launched a new search engine with a bold mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Though much has changed in the intervening years—including now offering Search in more than 150 languages and over 190 countries—Google is still dedicated to building products for everyone.
Today’s video Doodle takes a stroll down memory lane by exploring popular searches all over the world throughout the last two decades.
So whether you’ve searched for the status of your favorite object orbiting the sun, the latest on the world’s biggest events, or how to impress on the dance floor.”
