Google turned 25 years old, marking a quarter-century of changing how everyone used the internet and interacted with information. The Google Doodle on that particular day was a colorful and sentimental ode to its development, expressing the essence of its kaleidoscopic journey from a simple search engine to a major global tech player. This milestone served as a time to reflect on how Google has shaped everyone's daily lives and the way you study, connect, and explore the enormous digital landscape, in addition to celebrating innovation.

Even Google created a dodle, a GIF that changes "Google" into "G25gle," to commemorate the 25 years. Not only this, but you will also see the confetti throughout the entire website when you click on the logo directly above. On their personal blog, Google wrote, “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."

They further added, “Much has changed since 1998—including our logo as seen in today’s Doodle—but the mission has remained the same: to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful... Thank you for evolving with us over the past 25 years. We can’t wait to see where the future takes us together.”
