JUST-IN: Google Marks 25th Birthday With A Special Doodle
Search giant Google is celebrating its 25th anniversary today, 27th September with a special doodle.
Google, a software system that finds web pages to match a web search created a Doodle as a GIF which turns ‘Google’ into ‘G25gle’; highlighting its ’25’ year of creation.
On the occasion of Google’s birthday, The Indian Express wrote that though Google Inc. was incorporated on September 4, the company had for more than a decade consistently celebrated its birthday on September 27.
According to the company on its blog, different doodles have been showcased to mark the special occasion.
The company in its birthday themed, “walk down memory lane” noted that it was using this day as a “time to reflect” while being oriented towards the future.
Google wrote in its blog,
“Today’s Doodle celebrates Google’s 25th year. And while here at Google we’re oriented towards the future, birthdays can also be a time to reflect. Let’s take a walk down memory lane to learn how we were born 25 years ago.
“Google was founded by doctoral students Sergey Brin and Larry Page who met in Stanford University’s computer science program in the late 90s. The two quickly learned that they shared a similar vision – to make the World Wide Web a more accessible place. The pair worked tirelessly from their dorm rooms to develop a prototype for a better search engine, as per its blog.
“As they made meaningful progress on the project, they moved the operation to Google’s first office – a rented garage. On September 27, 1998, Google Inc. was officially born,” it read.
Moreover, the company pointed out that much has changed since 1998, but noted that its mission has remained the same which is “to organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”.
Google, however, thanked users for evolving with them over the past 25 years. “We can’t wait to see where the future takes us, together” it added.
The Indian Express also wrote that last month, Google’s current CEO Sundar Pichai, penned a note to mark the company’s birthday. Looking back on how the company has fared in transforming technology, and the path towards the future, he expressed his gratitude to the users, employees and partners who have been a part of Google’s success.
Mr. Pichai, while highlighting
the importance of innovation and adaptation expressed appreciation for the constant challenge to innovate and the dedication of past and present Googlers.
He, in his note, also acknowledged that what was once seen as extraordinary technology quickly became ordinary as the boundaries continued to be pushed.
Google is a software system known to search the World Wide Web, www, in a systematic way for a specific information in a textual web search query. The searched information may be a mix of hyperlinks to web pages, images, videos, infographics, articles, and other types of files.
From The Pendulum Media, we wish Google a Happy 25th Birthday.
