Google, one of the most powerful and innovative companies in the tech world, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2023. However, it is important to clarify that, until my last update in September 2021, Google was founded on September 4, 1998. Therefore, his 25th birthday fell on September 4, 2023. This date is an important milestone in the history of technology and deserves to be celebrated.
Google’s story is one of the most inspiring and iconic business worlds. It was founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, two PhD students at Stanford University, with the goal of creating a more efficient and accurate search engine. They launched the company as “Google” – a word game with “googol”, which represents the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, reflecting the ambition to organize the vast amount of information available on the internet.
Google has grown exponentially since its founding. Initially, it was just a search engine, but it quickly expanded its scope to include a huge range of services such as Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and Android, the world’s most popular mobile operating system.
The company also stood out for its innovative approach to employee management, introducing policies such as “20% free time,” which allowed employees to devote part of their working time to personal projects, resulting in innovations such as Google AdSense.
Google has revolutionized how we access and interact with information. Today, it is hard to imagine the internet without Google, as it has become an essential part of our daily lives. In addition, the company has played a key role in the evolution of technology and web research.
In addition to its technological contributions, Google has also become one of the most valuable and influential companies in the world. His approach to organizing information, online advertising and product development has changed the landscape of the technology industry and advertising.
Google’s 25th anniversary is an opportunity to reflect on its remarkable journey and its contributions to society. The company continues to face challenges and criticism in areas such as data privacy and competition, but its influence and impact on the world of technology and beyond is undeniable.
In the future, Google will certainly continue to play a central role in the evolution of technology and the internet, and we can expect to see more exciting innovations and changes in the way we interact with digital information. Happy 25th anniversary to Google and the visionaries who founded it!
