What did we Google search for in 2020?

In the year that will be remembered by school books as that of coronavirus it is almost obvious which is the most typed word su Google from January to today. To certify it is the same Search Engine with a summary of the last twelve months that sums up a long period of anxieties and worries, but also the desire to react to the crisis (health and not only) by striving and working hard.

A year of Google searches: the trends of 2020

The now traditional bigG report is accompanied by the video Year in Search packaged by the Mountain View group to highlight the research trends of this 2020, opened by an image that photographs Italy from the other.

2020 was the year of "what does it mean ...?", Of "why ...?", Of "how to do ...?".

Focus also on politics (local and foreign), sport and important farewells to some celebrities.
