While it's hard to imagine a world without Google, and while a few of us may even remember Ask Jeeves, back in the early nineties there were only a handful of fledgling search engines available to internet users. But the very first one was created in 1990 by a few students at McGill University in Montreal. Apparently, the rudimentary search engine was so popular that at one point it accounted for nearly 50 percent of all of the city's internet traffic. Its inventors named it Archie—like archive but without the "V."
 
Chaplin was such a success in silent film, that he continued making them for years after "talkies" began to take off in popularity. Part of this was due to the fact that his silent films still made money, and part was due to his own lack of confidence in his skills in the new medium. When he finally did his first talkie, 1940's The Great Dictator, it was a masterpiece that effectively silenced critics.
