Not only did people search for Flappy Bird more than Apple’s latest, but the indie mobile game also exceeded notorious terrorist organization ISIS and cinematic phenomenon “Frozen”.
Looking at sales numbers and counting the money made off consumer electronics is perhaps the easiest way of assessing popularity and success. But perhaps just as important for gauging one device’s trendiness is exploring Google’s annual search charts.
Previously known as Zeitgeist, which is German for spirit of the age or spirit of the time, the 2014 report has been published under the simpler name “Year in Search”. Its findings are for the most part unsurprising, with deceased actor and comedian Robin Williams leading the all-around rankings.
Apple’s iPhone 6 was the most Googled consumer electronics piece, beating Samsung’s Galaxy S5 by a landslide, we presume, based on the two’s box-office reception. Remember, the S5 missed expectations and is widely considered a smaller hit than predecessor S4, while the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus obliterated all Cupertino records.
Google’s very own Nexus 6 snatched the bronze medal, followed in fourth by another Motorola-made handheld, the Moto G. Ironically, the only wearable that made the top ten is one unavailable for sale until 2015.

Yes, the Apple Watch was eight overall, behind the Samsung Note 4, aka Galaxy Note 4, LG G3 and Xbox One. Nokia’s failed X experiment and yet another iDevice, the iPad Air, wrap up the list, which noticeably lacks the PlayStation 4 and any trace of PC DNA.
The YouTube Videos section features the controversial original iPhone 6 Plus bend test at number five, behind an equally as controversial but weirdly hilarious “mutant giant spider dog” prank, a Nike commercial, that disgusting “First Kiss” shtick, and a clip of an Italian nun rocking the local “Voice” stage.
As for the most searched for terms and names all in all, it’s not surprising in the least to see the “World Cup” second Robin Williams, and Ebola land on the last spot of the podium. Malaysia Airlines, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and Flappy Bird, yes, Flappy Bird follow.
A free-to-play, rudimentary, highly unoriginal little arcade game for Android and iOS was more important to connected people of the world in 2014 than, say, ISIS, Ukraine, Ferguson, Gaza or Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death. Professor Farnsworth, you have the floor.
