Google celebrates 22 years of launch with a cartoon.
New Delhi:
Happy birthday, Google! Today Google celebrates its 22 years of launch with a cartoon. Google, being one of the easiest search engines to use, is also the most popular search engine created as a research project in 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
Today’s Google Doodle shows an animated G wearing a birthday hat. She is staring at a laptop while surrounded by a gift box, cake, and box. The laptop screen displays G’s friends (the rest of Google’s alphabets) in four separate windows, in full celebration mode.
The fun animation marks the site’s 22nd birthday. The official Google Doodle page shares the story of Google’s founders and how they trace their roots back to the sunny campus of Stanford University.
The partnership between Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin has its roots in the sunny campus of Stanford University. As graduate students, the couple set out to improve the way people interacted with the vast amount of information on the World Wide Web. Google was born in 1998 and the rest is history.
The now world famous nickname is a play with a mathematical term that grew out of a modest walk around the year 1920. While walking through the woods of New Jersey, American mathematician Edward Kasner asked his young nephew Milton Sirotta to help you choose a name. for a mind-boggling number: a 1 followed by 100 zeros. Milton’s response? A googol! The term gained wide visibility twenty years later with its inclusion in a 1940 book co-authored by Kasner called “Mathematics and the Imagination.”
In 2006, the word “Google” was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary as a verb, so if you want to find out more about the size of a googol, just Google!
