Possibly the coolest doodle this year, Google put a zip on its home page that allows users to unzip the front page.
No ad to show here.
The impressive Doodle is in honour of Gideon Sundback, the Swedish-American electrical engineer who invented the zip, as today is his 132nd birthday. His name is trending worldwide on Twitter.
The unzipped page is a collection of links with information and news reports on Sundback. Users are able to learn more about the invention of the zip.
Originally, Sundback intended the zip to be a replacement for fasteners on women’s boots but it soon became a regular feature on pants and dresses by the 1930s.
Sundback died of a heart condition in 1954.
Zip on over to Google and have a little fun.
