Everyone’s favourite search engine, Google, is celebrating its 23rd birthday on Monday, and the company made sure to mark the day with a doodle on its homepage. As seen in the image above, the google doodle features a cake with “23” written on top of it, with a birthday candle substituting for “L” in “Google.”
Today’s doodle, in reality, is an animated feature, as seen here.
However, it is to be noted that technically, Google was founded on September 4, 1998. Though the company, for the first seven years, observed its birth anniversary on the said date, that year, it decided to shift the celebrations to September 27 to coincide with the announcement of the record number of pages that this search engine was indexing.
The history of the doodle itself dates back to 1998, to a month before Google was founded. The very first doodle was on the long-running “Burning Man” event in Black Rock City, Nevada.
Co-founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google is today the most widely-used search engine globally. Its current CEO is Sundar Pichai, who succeeded Page on October 24, 2015. Page, meanwhile, took over the same position at Alphabet Inc. On December 3, 2019, Pichai became the CEO of Alphabet as well.
Alphabet Inc. was created on October 2, 2015 through a restructuring of Google and later became its parent company and that of its former subsidiaries as well.

Chennai: A total of 293 students graduated at the ninth convocation of the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM) Kancheepuram, held virtually on Friday.
The Institute is planning to launch a M.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering with a specialisation in AI and Robotics, and M.Tech. in Power Electronics and System Design shortly.
This year, it commenced an M.Tech. programme in Computer Science with specialization in Data Science and AI.
Delivering the convocation Address, DRDO Chairman and Secretary, Department of Defence (R and D) G Satheesh Reddy said ‘Today, the country is looking for innovation from youngsters to come out with the products of first-of-its- class in the world… What is that which can make this country prosperous?’
‘It is the technology which can make this country prosperous. And for the country to become prosperous, the seed is with the institutes like IIITDM where people have to learn science and technology and come out with design and manufacturing where lot of innovation comes out’, he said.
Elaborating on how DRDO can support such innovation, Dr. Satheesh Reddy said, ‘DRDO has got a scheme called ‘Technology Development Funding.’ It funds youngsters who are coming out of the colleges as just young graduates and who can join these incubation centres to convert their ideas into a design and a product’.
He said the DRDO supports this project with Rs one crore funding for an idea which actually works for the defence of the country or the security of the country.
‘If you are establishing an industry and coming out with a design and if we see that the design is useful to the defence or the security of the country, and come out with that product, we can fund you up to Rs 10 crore’, he said.

Using a raised eyebrow or smile, people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate their Android-powered smartphones hands-free, Google said Thursday. Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work detecting face and eye movements.
