We saw technology advance beyond our imagination, we felt sadness as those we looked up to passed away and we felt happiness watching our country in the Olympics. We saw devastation reach the shores of countries all around the world, but equally we saw countries open up their borders and a global community form.

Google has yet again perfectly summed up the year with A Year in Search diving into our collective memories.
