About Technology MCQs
This General Knowledge category focuses on technology milestones and digital services. The current question asks when WhatsApp was launched; it was founded in 2009 by Jan Koum and Brian Acton and later acquired by Facebook, now Meta. Technology questions in general awareness papers often ask about founders of companies, launch years of popular apps, computer terms and the full forms of common abbreviations. Because these facts change less than current affairs, learning a short list of major technology companies and their founders gives reliable marks in many recruitment tests.
