Google’s 2016 recap closes year with message of love
Dec 14, 2016, 3:40 PM
To say 2016 has been a rough year may be an understatement for some people.
And, to be fair, the news hasn’t really helped a lot either. From terrorist attacks to the ongoing war in Syria, to police shootings and an incredibly divisive election, this year has presented a lot of challenges.
To learn more about those challenges, a lot of people — millions of them each day — turn to Google to learn more about the world around them.
The internet giant released its annual recap on Wednesday and it breaks slightly from tradition. The video normally prominently features a search bar with words being typed into it.
But this year, Google let the images speak for themselves.
We’ll warn you, the video recalls some painful memories at the start. But as it goes along, the video begins showing a message of love.
That’s something we can all get behind.
