To mark its 25th birthday, Google is celebrating on its site with a new Google Doodle, where it put ‘25’ in place of the two ‘O’s to spell G25gle. The search engine giant was launched on September 27, 1998 by co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on its homepages intended to commemorate holidays, events, achievements, and notable historical figures.

Also, if you enter ‘Google 25th birthday’ in the search bar, colourful confetti will rain down over your results.

In the last 25 years, Google has changed the way we use the World Wide Web (www).
The tech giant also thanked the public for ‘25 years of curiosity’ that fueled the company’s astonishing success.

“We love dreaming up new ways that technology can be helpful to you every day, and are endlessly inspired by what you’ve used it to achieve. We’re also humbled by the opportunities ahead, and the potential for AI to help us continue to deliver on our mission and improve the lives of even more people around the world”

The firm, in the statement titled ‘Google’s 25th birthday’ said: “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.

“By fate or luck, doctoral students Sergey Brin and Larry Page met in Stanford University’s computer science program in the late ’90s. They quickly learned they shared a similar vision: 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 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.

“Much has changed since 1998, including our logo as seen in today’s Doodle, but the mission has remained the same: to organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Billions of people from all over the globe use Google to search, connect, work, play, and do much more!”

“Thank you for evolving with us over the past 25 years. We can’t wait to see where the future takes us, together.”

“We may be a technology company, but Google is what it is today because of people: Our employees, our partners, and most importantly, all the people who use our products. So as we celebrate our 25th birthday today, we’re also celebrating 25 years of your curiosity. After all, your curiosity is what has fueled us — and our progress.”
