Google has become synonymous with searching online for things: something, anything, whatever you want to learn about. This video, titled Google Zeitgeist 2012, shows what we all searched for over the past year.
The video serves as a reminder of things that happened during the course of 2012. From Felix Baumgartner’s record-breaking jump from the edge of space to the London Olympic Games. And everything in between.
As a year in review this works extremely well. What we search for online now obviously matches the big headlines and major world events that are occurring. If people are searching for a subject online in great numbers then you can be sure it’s of some import.
2012 was pretty epic in terms of world-changing events, and 2013 will likely have just as many momentous events attached to it. We’ve looked back, now let’s look forward with optimism.
