From Robin Williams to La Décima, selfies and Ebola

Not all media are in favor! We are committed to freedom of dissemination and decision.

That said, there are a couple of weeks left until this year ends and, as usual, Google launches its Zeitgeist (in German, the "spirit of the times")) that collects the trends search, a document that offers a curious vision of the tastes, concerns and interests of users. Among the lists there are two types, the words with the greatest growth (they are not the most searched words but those that this year, due to what has happened in society, have aroused more interest in users) and the most searched words focused on different themes. Below is a summary of the most interesting trends.

 

 

 

 

During 2014, in Spain, the terms that have had the greatest growth have been related, fundamentally, to the world of television. Up to four events and the famous actor Robin Williams who died this year have sneaked into the “Top Ten”. The 15th edition of the reality showBig Brother" has been the first accompanied by “La Voz Kids”, “Eurovision 2014” and “Survivors”. On the other hand, sports such as the celebration of World Cup en Brazil and the death of the Barcelona coach, Tito vilanova It has also had its place on the list that, this year, is closed Adolfo Suárez, Ebola and the iPhone 6.

 

Looking at the list of terms that have seen the most growth in searches related to the question "What is…?", the popular concept of selfie tops the list, followed by Ebola, homeopathy, and Pin24h. As for what internet users have searched for related to the word "How to…", we find that they have been trying to find answers about “how to make bracelets”, “tune to tdt”, “vote”, “evolve” or, for example, “be swag”.

And what has happened this year with celebrities and diets? Compared to the previous year, they have stood out in searches Conchita Wurst and Renée Zellweger but Spanish talent also appears like Clara Lago, Dani Rovira or Ruth Lorenzo. Among the weight loss methods, Alcarrina, Pericone, 5.2 or the coherent diet They have slipped into the top ten.

In the chapter «football"The most sought-after footballers have been, Cristiano Ronaldo beats his eternal rival, Leo Messi. They follow the goalkeeper Iker Casillas and defender Sergio Ramos. And in a year where traveling has helped us forget about problems, London takes the lead as a destination and they follow Thailand, Paris, Rome, Cuba or Japan.

Worldwide, Internet users have focused their searches on the Brazil World Cup 2014, one of the most anticipated events of the year and which had millions of viewers glued to their televisions. Another of the most sought-after great mass phenomena has been the viral campaign to raise awareness about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) the Ice Bucket Challenge and finally, some unsolved mysteries such as the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
