Google dedicated its 21st birthday with a charming and unique doodle today. The search engine was established by two Stanford Ph.D. students, Sergey Brin and Lawrence (Larry) Page, 21 years ago on September 1998.
Larry and Sergey developed Google in their residences at Stanford in California. The two had proclaimed a paper about beginning a model of a large-scale search engine.
Before exploring Google, the two had also developed a search algorithm acknowledged as Backrub’. However, the two concluded on the name Google for their project because it matched the name googol which is a scientific term meaning 10 raised to the power of 100.
They composed about this in their paper too, “We decided our systems name, Google, because it is a standard spelling of googol, or 10100 and relates well with our goal of building very large-scale search engines.”
For its twenty-first anniversary, the search engine market with a cartoon of a remainder photo of a large computer, which shows a Google search screen, sprawling on the side on a table with the timestamp of ’98 9 27 inscribed on the right-hand edge of the image.
Though the search engine celebrates its anniversary today, September 27 was not its official anniversary. Until 2005 the website proclaimed its birthday on September 7. But since 2005, it has registered its birthday on September 8, September 26 and, newly, September 27.
Today, Google performs all over the world and in over 100 languages, acknowledging trillions of search inquiries each year. The scale is certainly extensive.
