Hurricane Irma, iPhone, Matt Lauer, Meghan Markle, Bitcoin, Despacito and fidget spinner are among the top Google searches for 2017. People from the United States and Caribbean islands understandably had great interest in hurricanes. The category 5 Hurricane Irma caused widespread damage on Caribbean islands and in the American state of Florida in September. Not long before Irma, Hurricane Harvey flooded the city of Houston, Texas. From Taiwan to Ghana, and Germany to Sri Lanka, everyone seemed to search for the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X this year. The search for Apple smart phones outdistanced other technology news for the year. People searched for Matt Lauer more than any other person in 2017.
