Google has, over the years, become a large part of our daily lives. We depend on Google products and services to navigate our environment, gain fast hand information and the tap of a screen and many more ways. But when is Google's official birthday?

Every year, Google celebrates its birthday on a day of its choosing, either September 15 or September 4. Both dates are technically correct.
