Google turns 18 today

DateTuesday, September 27, 2016 at 12:47AM

In some countries, Google is now considered an adult. The tech giant celebrates its 18th birthday today and it commemorates it with a Google Doodle, of course. Gerben Steenks created the festive GIF you see today on September 27. But while Google has been celebrating its big day today since 2006, no one knows why this date has been picked—not even Google.

The first Google Doodle to celebrate the company’s fourth anniversary was released on September 27 but when it comes to significant dates for the company it doesn’t quite add up. Larry Page and Sergey Brin registered the domain on September 15, 1997 and incorporated it on September 4, 1998. Let’s just say September is a big month for the tech giant.
