Google has unveiled its ‘most searched’ list for 2020 via a video on Twitter. And in a surprise guest appearance, Dubai is the first city to be seen.
“In times of uncertainty, people seek understanding and meaning,” said Google via Twitter.
“2020 was a year of deep questioning, as the world searched “why” more than ever, according to Google Trends. Explore more trends from the year at http://google.com/yearinsearch.”
Some of the search terms are self-explanatory given the year we’ve had, including ‘coronavirus’ and ‘Joe Biden’.
