The video begins with a look at Google's original homepage design before presenting popular searches from around the world, from the last 20 years, including "What will happen on Y2K" and the "What's a selfie?"

Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin who set out to launch a search engine that made information easily accessible. The company continues that mission today and offers a search engine in more than 150 languages and in over 190 countries.
