Google has long treated September 27 as its official “birthday,” marking the launch of its search engine as a publicly available service. Founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company grew from a research project at Stanford University into one of the world’s largest technology firms. Google transformed how people access information by providing rapid, relevant search results and later added products like Gmail, Maps, and Android. Its dominance raised new questions about privacy, competition, and the power of digital platforms. The company’s evolution reflects broader changes in the internet and digital economy.
