Google Said No One Needed Gmail—Now 1.8 Billion People Use It Daily

In 2004, Paul Buchheit, a 26-year-old Google engineer, had a radical idea: an email service that was fast, ad-free, and offered 1GB of storage—500 times more than Hotmail or Yahoo. But when he pitched it, Google’s leadership was skeptical. The email market seemed dominated, and no one believed the world needed another inbox.

Undeterred, Buchheit focused on a simple goal: "Make 100 users happy." He built Gmail as a side project, launching it on April 1, 2004—a date many thought was an April Fools’ joke. But the joke was on the doubters.

Why Gmail Almost Didn’t Happen
Market Dominance: In 2004, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail controlled 90% of the market.

Internal Doubts: Google’s leadership questioned if email was even worth competing in.

Storage Costs: Offering 1GB free was seen as financially reckless (competitors gave just 2-4MB).

The Game-Changing Features That Won the World
Search-Based Inbox: Unlike cluttered folders, Gmail let users find emails instantly—leveraging Google’s search expertise.

No Deleting Needed: With 1GB, users could keep emails forever, a revolutionary concept.

Invite-Only Hype: Early access was exclusive, creating massive demand.

The Moment Everything Changed
When Gmail launched, the tech world didn’t believe it was real. But once early testers got in, word spread like wildfire:

TechCrunch’s headline: "Gmail Is Too Good to Be True."

Invites sold on eBay for $150+ as demand exploded.

Within 5 years, Gmail surpassed Hotmail.

Where Gmail Is Today
✔ 1.8 billion+ active users (20% of the world’s population)
✔ 15GB free storage (now standard, thanks to Gmail’s disruption)
✔ Integrated with Google Workspace, powering businesses globally

What if Paul had listened to the skeptics?

Would we still be deleting emails to save space?

Would spam still dominate our inboxes?

Would cloud storage even exist as we know it?

Gmail proved that even "solved" markets can be reinvented—and that sometimes, all it takes is one engineer ignoring the noise.

P.S. The first version of Gmail was coded in a single day—proof that big ideas don’t always need big starts.

In 1975, a young Kodak engineer named Steven Sasson built a device that would quietly spark a revolution. Using parts from a Super 8 movie camera, some digital circuitry, and a cassette tape for storage, he created the first digital camera. It weighed around 8 pounds and could capture a 0.01-megapixel black-and-white image, storing it on a cassette tape and taking 23 seconds to process. Despite its primitive nature, Sasson had proven that photography could be done without film, a radical idea at the time.

Excited, Sasson presented his invention to Kodak executives. Their reaction was cautious. Kodak had dominated the photography world for decades, holding a huge share of the film and print market. Digital photography posed a direct threat to that empire. Although the company patented the technology in 1978, they shelved it, fearing that going digital would cannibalize their film sales. Instead of leading the shift, they tried to delay it. The irony? Kodak had the future of photography in its hands and chose not to act on it.

As the 1990s rolled in, companies like Sony, Canon, and Nikon began making strides in digital imaging. Kodak eventually joined the race, but it was too late. The same technology they once buried reshaped the entire industry. By the time Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012, digital cameras and smartphones had completely replaced film for most consumers. Steven Sasson’s invention lived on, not under Kodak’s name, but as a symbol of what happens when innovation is feared instead of embraced.
