A recent doodle on the front page of Google celebrated the 46th anniversary of the show Star Trek with an interactive doodle that conjures up images of Captain Kirk fighting a reptilian Gorn and incapacitating it with a self-made cannon, similar to the episode Arena. Ryan Germick, who headed up this Google doodle, commented on its inspiration.
“We often talk at Google about how awesome it would be to talk to a computer and get exactly what you want and have that kind of engagement, where the computer just knows all [like in Star Trek], and that’s what we’re moving toward,” Germick said. “Other than that, it just seemed like a perfect fit. There are so many Star Trek fans, myself included, it seemed like such a fun thing to celebrate.”
