Google turns 19, has an epic doodle

Google is celebrating its 19th birthday today and the tech giant marked the occasion with an epic doodle.

It regularly posts doodles to the homepage, which serve to mark a special occasion - usually the anniversary of a birth, invention or event.
The doodle is interactive and lets you spin through and have a good time.



Nineteen different surprises, based on what you spin on, include a new snake game, access to several older Doodle games like the cricket game, street views under water, breathing exercise, and many more.

The search giant currently serves 4.6 billion users across 160 countries - who are searching for things in 123 different languages.

Over the last 19 years Google has become one of the biggest technology companies in the world and has moved far beyond just providing search results.

As well as producing its own hardware and software it has stretched into research and development around future technologies like self-driving cars.
