Google's Remarkable 25-Year Journey: From Humble Beginnings to Global Tech Giant.

 On this day in history, September 27, Google turns 25. It's fascinating to look into this American multinational technology company's humble beginnings as it approaches this momentous milestone.





According to data on Google's website, Larry Page and Sergey Brin met for the first time in January 1997 at Stanford University. When Larry Page was considering attending Stanford for his studies, Sergey Brin, who was already enrolled as a Ph.D. student there, was requested to take Page around the campus. And so Google's adventure began.


A year later, the two started working together to create a search engine in the confines of their dorm rooms. Surprisingly, they were able to build their first prototype successfully. Leading Silicon Valley investors began to show interest in their innovation, and in August 1998, Andy Bechtolsheim, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, sent a $100,000 cheque to Sergey Brin and Larry Page, establishing Google Inc. as a legal entity. The newly formed team relocated from their dorms and into their first workplace, which happened to be a garage located in the Menlo Park, California, suburbs, with the help of this important investment.




In the years that followed, Google expanded quickly, which eventually forced a move to the 'Googleplex,' or current headquarters, in Mountain View, California.

Google previously wrote in a blog post that "a chance encounter between two computer scientists changed the course of the Internet and the lives of millions."


According to Google, "billions of queries are made on Google every day in more than 150 different languages. The goal of Google, to make the world's information accessible to everyone, hasn't changed much over the years, from its first server being housed in a cabinet built out of toy blocks to its servers currently being hosted in more than 20 data centers around the world.


Today's most popular search engine owns and manages data centers throughout the globe, guaranteeing that the internet is accessible at all times. Amazingly, the Google Search index has grown to encompass hundreds of billions of web pages, surpassing a staggering size of more than 100,000,000 gigabytes.


Google has grown significantly since its early days as the first search engine prototype, expanding its scope far beyond search functions.

  When three of the five judges, including Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice S.K. Kaul, disagreed with the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage, adoption hopes for unmarried and LGBTQ+ couples were dashed.

He asserted that there was conflict over how far the court ought to go. As the decisions were being perused, it became clear that the adjudicators imparted the insight that the Unique Marriage Act couldn't be utilized to assess whether same-sex relationships ought to be perceived.
