Google, the trailblazing brainchild of two visionaries, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, recently marked its monumental 25th anniversary. Besides being the most popular search engine, Google is known to all as the creative genius behind Android, the omnipotent G Search, the mesmerising Pixel phones, and the indispensable Workspace services.
Google was born in a cluttered Stanford University dorm room in 1998 as a small research project that aimed to organise a vast amount of information on the Internet. Little did Page and Brin know that their endeavour would soon reshape the digital landscape. Fast forward to today, we can't survive a day without searching for something on Google.
Google's 25-year journey is a testament to human ingenuity and the power of technology to transform our lives. From a humble search engine to a global tech giant, Google has introduced countless products and services that have reshaped how we live, work, and play in the digital age. Let's have a brief look at them.
GOOGLE SEARCH
Google is the most loved and preferred search engine. It's not just a tool; it's a window to the world. It has revolutionised how we access information, granting us the ability to learn, discover, and explore with unprecedented ease. The algorithm's evolution has been a relentless pursuit of relevance, delivering precise results amidst the ever-expanding sea of data.
GMAIL
In 2004, to make our lives easier, Google gifted us with Gmail. It was an email service that wasn't just a mode of communication; it was an ecosystem. With generous storage space, intuitive features, and a brilliant spam filter, Gmail became the undisputed leader in email services. Today, for numerous people, Gmail is a gateway to productivity and organisation.
