TBT: Windows 98, iMac, and Google’s First Doodle: How 1998 Shaped Tech’s FutureThrowback Thursday

Shane Hewitt and tech journalist Carmi Levy fire up the time machine to 1998—a year that quietly shaped the future of tech. They revisit the release of Windows 98, an evolution that made PCs more stable, faster, and friendlier to new gadgets like DVD players. From there, they jump to Apple’s game-changing iMac launch, the moment that set the company on the road to becoming the world’s largest tech giant. And for a lighter twist, they look back at Google’s very first doodle—a stick figure marking a trip to Burning Man—that sparked a creative tradition still going strong today.
