Bluetooth vs Wi-Fi, YouTube vs Facebook, Google vs Yahoo — which came first?
Wi-Fi launched in 1997 — two years before Bluetooth 1.0 in 1999. Most people guess wrong. This 50-question quiz challenges your grasp of tech chronology, from ARPANET's first message in 1969 to ChatGPT in 2022 and Apple Vision Pro in 2024. Can you order Google vs Yahoo, YouTube vs Facebook, Skype vs LinkedIn, and the iPhone vs Android correctly?
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll trace the arc of modern computing from UNIX, C, and the Intel 4004 through the IBM PC, Mac, and Windows; from Mosaic and Netscape to Google, Amazon, and eBay; and from the iPod and iPhone to Android, Bitcoin, Instagram, TikTok, and ChatGPT. Along the way you'll pin down exact founding dates of household-name companies, the launch of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the order of major social platforms — Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Threads.
Yahoo came first. Yahoo was incorporated on March 2, 1995, while Google was founded on September 4, 1998 — more than three years later.
YouTube was registered as a domain on February 14, 2005. The first video, 'Me at the zoo' by co-founder Jawed Karim, was uploaded on April 23, 2005.
Wi-Fi came first. The 802.11 Wi-Fi standard was released in June 1997, while Bluetooth 1.0 followed in May 1999. Many people assume the opposite.
