15 Gadgets And Online Services That Didn’t Exist, When Game Of Thrones Began In April 2011

After what felt like forever, Game of Thrones’s finale is here sooner or later. The epic fantasy TV series is heading to a gripping climax in Westeros and beyond. The first episode of Game of Thrones season 8 has debuted, airing in India simultaneously with the US. Many of you possibly wakened early to catch it or will watch it later. But it’s surprising how much has changed since that famous show aired on TV all the years ago in 2011. Bloomberg’s Jon Erlichman posted on Twitter earlier today, mentioning all the tech services that have boomed and grown, considering GoT’s first debut in April 2011. Snapchat, created via Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown, was launched in September of 2011 as Snapchat Inc., approximately five months after Game of Thrones premiered on HBO in April 2011.

The ride-sharing app Lyft launched approximately 12 months later, in June 2012, just after Game Of Thrones season two.

Slack

Workplace collaboration app Slack was launched in August 2013, two months after GoT’s season three ended. Though it looks like it’s been around for decades, Siri is more youthful than Game of Thrones. The beta version of the digital assistant was released with the iPhone 4S in October 2011.
