Celebrating 11 Years of Google in Innovative Fashion

— September 27, 2009 — Pop Culture
Celebrate 11 years of Google today, on the supposed anniversary of the search engine’s launch. There are a few dates recognized as a potential official start date of the search engine giant, but today’s as good as any.

Besides, the site itself is celebrating 11 years of Google by a clever change to its homepage. The superpower that is Google probably knows best, and if you disagree they’ll totally track you.

So what have you done with 11 years of Google? Can you remember life before it? You know, back when people used the yellow pages (the actual paper copy), and you had to go to the library to work on that research paper? Yeah, we don’t remember either.
