Top Google searches this year

This year has been a rollercoaster.
Like a typical horror movie, everything was going well in the beginning until things went south in March and soon the Covid19 lockdown was implemented with immediate effect.

Many people had to stay home, self reflect and find their way inside their living space, and the Internet kept many occupied.
