The Google Barcode Doodle: A Harbinger of the Internet of Things?
In celebration of the 57th anniversary of the first bar code patent, Google have altered their homepage to feature a barcode instead of the familiar Google logo. This temporary redisgn (or Doodle) is actually a fairly common occurrence: past doodles have featured crop circles, Michael Jackson, Samuel Morse, Nikola Tesla, and a range of other people and things. Previous Doodles have always played with the letters that make up ‘Google,’ The letters have been rearranged, reshaped, and sometimes even reordered. But with enough imagination would still always form the word 'Google.’
