Happy 13th Birthday - In Dog Years Maybe!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Executive Realty
It's totally shocking to me that GOOGLE is only 13 today - 13 - How could 13 short years change the world so much. I know - technology years are more like dog years - Take the age and multiply by 7 - 91 that sounds a bit better when you think of GOOGLE as compared to other sites like BING - 91 says Wisdom, Acumen, Prudence, Respect -

The first thought that came to me when I heard of Google's special day today - was about 12 or 13 years ago, I was teaching a class (teens) and asked how many students had "googled themselves". - Just about everyone in the class looked at me as if I had two heads - I had to explain what they might find if they "googled" a person... Does that sound like 91 years ago? It certainly does to me!!!

IF this is shocking - Wait until we celebrate Facebook's 8th Birthday in Feb!

Marcia the young age of some of our “can’t live without them” services does shock me. What will Google and these other companies become over the next decade and who will the new “must have” service (like PICNIK) be.

I learned to search on Yahoo before I ever learned to search on Google.

Thirteen! That means it was born in 1998. I would have thought more like 2003.

Happy Wednesday!

It is amazing Marcia, what Google has managed to accomplish in such a short time.
