Barbie Doll Debuts (1959)

When Ruth Handler, wife of Mattel toy company co-founder Elliot Handler, realized that there were no adult-bodied dolls on the toy market, she suggested to her husband that Mattel begin producing one. In 1959, Barbie made her debut. She was based on a German doll called Bild Lilli and was marketed as a "Teen-age Fashion Model." According to estimates, over a billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide and many have become collector's items

Google, Inc. Founded (1998)

Google was created in the 1990s by two Stanford students who hypothesized that a search engine would produce better results if it analyzed the relationships between websites and prioritized those sites with the largest number of links to them. The search engine's use has become so widespread since it was introduced that the verb "google" was recently added to the Oxford English Dictionary.
