Google’s Birthday: Remember when…

My morning ritual is pretty standard. Start the coffee and sit down to check my e-mails before getting on with my work for the day. My home page (like so many others) is set to Google.

Google’s Doodle celebrating it’s 14th Birthday.

It’s Google’s 14th birthday. Gosh, it couldn’t have been 14 years could it? Google has become such an integral part of our daily lives that it has actually become a commonly used verb. Have a silly question? A random factoid to check? Just GOOGLE it!

Do you remember the first time you ever used Google?

I do. I was in one of my first “Technology classes” (mostly an excuse to play SimCity for an hour), and we had a project… I can’t remember what the project was, but I do remember using Google to search for information. I also remember using Dogpile.com but in retrospect I suppose that doesn’t seem nearly as monumental as the first time I “googled” something!

Where were you when you first used Google?
