Google Is Twenty-Three Years Old

Wow, I thought that it was older than that. Not that it came about when I was a little kid. The reason why they're celebrating its birthday today apparently is because today is the day when it first started getting popular or something. Anyways, happy birthday Google.

We used Hotmail with MSN.com back before Google. Yahoo was a household name with dialup.

Yeah I know Yahoo, I wonder if anybody still uses that. I don't think I ever have because I didn't really start going on the internet until I was ten and Google was already a big thing by then.

Dial up so slow you were not traveling the information highway you were dog paddling in the swamp.

I loved buying a 56K modem to achieve 32K on a good day.

Depended which way the wind was blowing. In the 1980's we were paying a dollar an hour for dialup..

The founders of google said we will use python where we can C++ where we must. You need to know more than just python and c++ to be an engineer at google today. They even created Golang. it has grown huge.
