Google turns 25 years old, it revolutionised how we access information, but what was it revolting against? @lisagiven @assemblingweb @juliant09 and I reflect on this anniversary and look to Google's future https://t.co/HR2YIuy98o via @ConversationEDU @AdmsCentre

2023 marks two key anniversaries: 30 years of web search and 25 years of Google. @AdmsCentre is running a one day symposium examining the impact of search and its possible futures. The event will be held at RMIT. https://t.co/11MxjETCy8 @RMITComputing @rmit_cidda

Many of us at ACCAN had the privilege of attending this year’s lecture delivered by the current NSW Premier’s Woman of the Year, Lynda Edwards. Lynda’s inspiring and thought provoking presentation was delivered with grace, humility, and humour.
