Somebody thinks they're going to make money out of the Internet.' \" Cerf was surprised and happy. \"I was a big proponent of that. My friends in the community thought I was nuts.

That is what allowed him to dream big. But, in retrospect, some of the decisions his team made seem hopelessly naive, especially for a bunch of geniuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They made it possible to surf the Internet anonymously — unlike a telephone, you don't have a unique number that announces who you are. We know how that turned out. People with less lofty ambitions than Cerf used that loophole for cybercrime, international espionage and online harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cerf admits all that dark stuff never crossed his mind. \"And we have to cope with that — I mean, welcome to the real world,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in a way, why would Cerf have imagined all this? He was a scientist deeply engaged in solving a great technical problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Cerf and his colleagues were busy inventing, the young aspiring science fiction writer \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson\">William Gibson\u003c/a> was looking for a place to set his first novel. Gibson was living in Seattle, and he had friends who worked in the budding tech industry. They told him about computers and the Internet, \"and I was sitting with a yellow legal pad trying to come up with trippy names for a new arena in which science fiction could be staged.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102080 alignright\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-12.05.27-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-12.05.27-PM.png 253w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-12.05.27-PM-160x244.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-12.05.27-PM-240x366.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\">The name Gibson came up with: cyberspace. And for a guy who had never seen it, he did a great job describing it in that 1984 book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Neuromancer-William-Gibson/dp/0441569595\">\u003cem>Neuromancer\u003c/em>\u003c/a>: \"A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Somehow Gibson was able to imagine the potential scale of it — all those computers connected together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it isn't just the Internet that Gibson saw coming. In \u003cem>Neuromancer\u003c/em>, the Internet has become dominated by huge multinational corporations fighting off hackers. The main character is a washed-up criminal hacker who goes to work for an ex-military officer to regain his glory. And get this: The ex-military guy is deeply involved in cyber-espionage between the U.S. and Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibson says he didn't need to try a computer or see the Internet to imagine this future. \"The first people to embrace a technology are the first to lose the ability to see it objectively,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he's more interested in how people behave around new technologies. He likes to tell a story about how TV changed New York City neighborhoods in the 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fewer people sat out on the stoops at night and talked to their neighbors, and it was because everyone was inside watching television,\" he says. \"No one really noticed it at the time as a kind of epochal event, which I think it was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of covering Silicon Valley and speaking with brilliant inventors, I found Gibson's point a revelation. Our tech entrepreneurs are focused almost exclusively on how their devices will be used by individuals — not how those devices will change society. They want to make things that are addictive and entertaining. That is why I've started to take science fiction more seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the sci-fi artists looking at today's latest technologies is \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/10/20/498683379/black-mirror-creator-dramatizes-our-worst-nightmares-about-technology\">Charlie Brooker\u003c/a>, the creator and writer of the Netflix show \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooker has a certain amount of frustration with the leaders in tech. \"It's felt like tech companies have for years just put this stuff out there,\" he says. \"And they distance themselves from the effects of their product effectively by saying, 'Oh, we're just offering a service.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooker sees each new technology more like an untested drug waiting to launch us on a very bad trip. Each episode of \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em> is like its own laboratory testing a technology that is already out, but pushing it by mixing in common human behaviors and desires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one episode, everyone \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2016/10/24/13379204/black-mirror-season-3-episode-1-nosedive-recap\">ranks one another\u003c/a> on how well they interact socially in real time. It's like Yelp on steroids. The result is a nightmare society — every smile is forced; it's impossible to be honest with anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another episode, a grieving woman hires a service that scans social media and other accounts of her deceased lover. It uses the information to bring him back as a humanoid robot. He speaks and responds almost exactly like the man she lost. And in case you're wondering: Such technology is \u003ca href=\"https://qz.com/896207/death-technology-will-allow-grieving-people-to-bring-back-their-loved-ones-from-the-dead-digitally/\">already in the works\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld9m8Xrpko0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooker says he does admire inventors. He knows he could never be one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I could scarcely have invented the shoe,\" Brooker says. \"I'd be worrying that that would restrict your feet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a kind of optimism that it takes to be an inventor. But the father of the Internet thinks inventors need the artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the mind-stretching practice of trying to think what the implications of technology will be that makes me enjoy science fiction,\" Cerf says. \"It teaches me that when you're inventing something you should try to think about what the consequences might be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The artists are the ones who recognize a fundamental truth: Human nature hasn't changed much since Shakespeare's time, no matter what fancy new tools you give us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR.

We know how that turned out. People with less lofty ambitions than Cerf used that loophole for cybercrime, international espionage and online harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cerf admits all that dark stuff never crossed his mind. \"And we have to cope with that — I mean, welcome to the real world,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in a way, why would Cerf have imagined all this? He was a scientist deeply engaged in solving a great technical problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Cerf and his colleagues were busy inventing, the young aspiring science fiction writer \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson\">William Gibson\u003c/a> was looking for a place to set his first novel. Gibson was living in Seattle, and he had friends who worked in the budding tech industry. They told him about computers and the Internet, \"and I was sitting with a yellow legal pad trying to come up with trippy names for a new arena in which science fiction could be staged.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-102080 alignright\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-12.05.27-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-12.05.27-PM.png 253w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-12.05.27-PM-160x244.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/02/Screen-Shot-2018-02-21-at-12.05.27-PM-240x366.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 100vw, 253px\">The name Gibson came up with: cyberspace. And for a guy who had never seen it, he did a great job describing it in that 1984 book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Neuromancer-William-Gibson/dp/0441569595\">\u003cem>Neuromancer\u003c/em>\u003c/a>: \"A graphic representation of data abstracted from the banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Somehow Gibson was able to imagine the potential scale of it — all those computers connected together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it isn't just the Internet that Gibson saw coming. In \u003cem>Neuromancer\u003c/em>, the Internet has become dominated by huge multinational corporations fighting off hackers. The main character is a washed-up criminal hacker who goes to work for an ex-military officer to regain his glory. And get this: The ex-military guy is deeply involved in cyber-espionage between the U.S. and Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibson says he didn't need to try a computer or see the Internet to imagine this future. \"The first people to embrace a technology are the first to lose the ability to see it objectively,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he's more interested in how people behave around new technologies. He likes to tell a story about how TV changed New York City neighborhoods in the 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Fewer people sat out on the stoops at night and talked to their neighbors, and it was because everyone was inside watching television,\" he says. \"No one really noticed it at the time as a kind of epochal event, which I think it was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of covering Silicon Valley and speaking with brilliant inventors, I found Gibson's point a revelation. Our tech entrepreneurs are focused almost exclusively on how their devices will be used by individuals — not how those devices will change society. They want to make things that are addictive and entertaining. That is why I've started to take science fiction more seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the sci-fi artists looking at today's latest technologies is \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/10/20/498683379/black-mirror-creator-dramatizes-our-worst-nightmares-about-technology\">Charlie Brooker\u003c/a>, the creator and writer of the Netflix show \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooker has a certain amount of frustration with the leaders in tech. \"It's felt like tech companies have for years just put this stuff out there,\" he says. \"And they distance themselves from the effects of their product effectively by saying, 'Oh, we're just offering a service.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooker sees each new technology more like an untested drug waiting to launch us on a very bad trip. Each episode of \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em> is like its own laboratory testing a technology that is already out, but pushing it by mixing in common human behaviors and desires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one episode, everyone \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2016/10/24/13379204/black-mirror-season-3-episode-1-nosedive-recap\">ranks one another\u003c/a> on how well they interact socially in real time. It's like Yelp on steroids. The result is a nightmare society — every smile is forced; it's impossible to be honest with anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another episode, a grieving woman hires a service that scans social media and other accounts of her deceased lover. It uses the information to bring him back as a humanoid robot. He speaks and responds almost exactly like the man she lost. And in case you're wondering: Such technology is \u003ca href=\"https://qz.com/896207/death-technology-will-allow-grieving-people-to-bring-back-their-loved-ones-from-the-dead-digitally/\">already in the works\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ld9m8Xrpko0'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ld9m8Xrpko0'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Brooker says he does admire inventors. He knows he could never be one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I could scarcely have invented the shoe,\" Brooker says. \"I'd be worrying that that would restrict your feet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is a kind of optimism that it takes to be an inventor. But the father of the Internet thinks inventors need the artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's the mind-stretching practice of trying to think what the implications of technology will be that makes me enjoy science fiction,\" Cerf says. \"It teaches me that when you're inventing something you should try to think about what the consequences might be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Celebrities Daisy Ridley, Gal Gadot and Taylor Swift are among deepfakes' early victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/samleecole?lang=en\">Samantha Cole\u003c/a>, an editor at Motherboard, who first reported on \u003ca href=\"https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ev5eba/ai-fake-porn-of-friends-deepfakes\">the trend\u003c/a>, tells NPR's Scott Simon that the videos are created using a machine-learning algorithm, which is trained by processing hundreds of photos of an individual's face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Someone takes a dataset of one person's face — and a lot of pictures of that person's face — and then a video that they want to put it on,\" Cole says. \"And they run a machine-learning algorithm, train it on these two images, and after a few hours, gives you the result, which is, these very realistic, fake porn videos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, while well-photographed actors and actresses are easy targets, as the technology quickly becomes more advanced and accessible, not-so-famous faces are worried where they might show up online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the talk of Reddit threads right now, Cole says, \"Whether this can be done with people that they know or scraped from Facebook images or Instagram. It's definitely possible, if you have enough images of someone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, a new, user-friendly tool, FakeApp, democratizes the technology. FakeApp allows anyone to generate fake videos with their own datasets. Deepfakes enthusiasts have been inserting into movies the Internet's favorite face: \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/nicolas-cage-inserted-movies-fakeapp-ai-technology-2018-1\">Nicolas Cage\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=127&v=BU9YAHigNx8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legally, though, this quickly-advancing technology has been outpacing the law. \"It's all very hazy right now,\" Cole says. \"Celebrities could sue for misappropriation of their images, like when you use a celebrity's face for an ad without their permission. But the average person has little recourse. Revenge porn laws don't include the right kind of language to cover this kind of situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar technologies have already stirred fears. Last year, journalist Nick \u003ca href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/01/fake-news-technology\">Bilton considered\u003c/a> the implications of adding two new manipulative mediums. He pointed to a video demonstrating technology researchers developed that allowed them to manipulate the facial expressions of world leaders, including Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If fabricated text-based stories can snowball into events like PizzaGate, he suggested, he left the door open for the consequences that could play out on an international stage when bad actors latch onto this technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Celebrities and porn performers are two groups of people that have lots of images of themselves publicly so they're easy targets for this, but so are politicians,\" Motherboard's Samantha Cole says. \"It's going to be difficult trying to suss out all of this in an era of fake news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR.

Celebrities Daisy Ridley, Gal Gadot and Taylor Swift are among deepfakes' early victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/samleecole?lang=en\">Samantha Cole\u003c/a>, an editor at Motherboard, who first reported on \u003ca href=\"https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ev5eba/ai-fake-porn-of-friends-deepfakes\">the trend\u003c/a>, tells NPR's Scott Simon that the videos are created using a machine-learning algorithm, which is trained by processing hundreds of photos of an individual's face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Someone takes a dataset of one person's face — and a lot of pictures of that person's face — and then a video that they want to put it on,\" Cole says. \"And they run a machine-learning algorithm, train it on these two images, and after a few hours, gives you the result, which is, these very realistic, fake porn videos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It's definitely possible, if you have enough images of someone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, a new, user-friendly tool, FakeApp, democratizes the technology. FakeApp allows anyone to generate fake videos with their own datasets. Deepfakes enthusiasts have been inserting into movies the Internet's favorite face: \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/nicolas-cage-inserted-movies-fakeapp-ai-technology-2018-1\">Nicolas Cage\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/BU9YAHigNx8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/BU9YAHigNx8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Legally, though, this quickly-advancing technology has been outpacing the law. \"It's all very hazy right now,\" Cole says. \"Celebrities could sue for misappropriation of their images, like when you use a celebrity's face for an ad without their permission. But the average person has little recourse. Revenge porn laws don't include the right kind of language to cover this kind of situation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar technologies have already stirred fears. Last year, journalist Nick \u003ca href=\"https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/01/fake-news-technology\">Bilton considered\u003c/a> the implications of adding two new manipulative mediums. He pointed to a video demonstrating technology researchers developed that allowed them to manipulate the facial expressions of world leaders, including Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If fabricated text-based stories can snowball into events like PizzaGate, he suggested, he left the door open for the consequences that could play out on an international stage when bad actors latch onto this technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Celebrities and porn performers are two groups of people that have lots of images of themselves publicly so they're easy targets for this, but so are politicians,\" Motherboard's Samantha Cole says. \"It's going to be difficult trying to suss out all of this in an era of fake news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>It's been two years and four months since an anonymous woman in Brooklyn started smashing her face into a wide variety of bread types for the entertainment of the internet. At the time of writing, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/breadfaceblog/\">Bread Face\u003c/a> (that really is her chosen moniker) has 177,000 followers and over 150 videos on her Instagram account, almost all of which involve her pressing her face (sometimes gently, sometimes aggressively) into baked goods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an introductory montage:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BI988YIAjUD/?taken-by=breadfaceblog\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The persona and internet presence of Bread Face started when the woman in question -- rumored to be a now-28-year-old writer -- first decided to roll her face on a Korean green tea roll cake because she suspected it would feel nice. When she shared her own joy about the experience with her friends, they all laughed at her, so she took to the internet, assuming, at the very least, her new hobby would be entertaining for other people to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things first blew up for Bread Face five months into her Instagram project when \u003cem>Buzzfeed\u003c/em> picked up on the account and (accurately) described it as \u003ca href=\"https://www.buzzfeed.com/angelospagnolo/this-woman-smashing-her-face-into-bread-is-oddly-compelling?utm_term=.rtAMMmn5VA#.per55qROEb\">\"oddly compelling.”\u003c/a> The same month, \u003cem>Oyster Mag\u003c/em> called Bread Face \u003ca href=\"http://new.oystermag.com/we-talk-to-the-girl-behind-fascinating-fetish-instagram-bread-face-blog\">\"fascinating,\"\u003c/a> and she told them the project was \"pure id.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BUs7YS0lm3N/?taken-by=breadfaceblog\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the popularity of Bread Face grew, the internet and journalists wondered if this was some sort of food-based fetish. In the summer of 2016, she told the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/08/style/this-is-her-face-this-is-her-face-in-bread-any-questions.html\">\u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>: \u003c/a>\"If I’m filling a once-empty slot for someone sexually — then that’s awesome. I get it. I don’t think it’s weird — food is tactile and sexy, and we can’t help what turns us on, just don’t overindulge yourself. The other part of me wonders if anyone would even bring that up if I weren’t an Asian girl. I mean... I don’t wonder that much, I know the answer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear, Bread Face doesn't go out of her way to be overtly sexy. As with almost any other woman in America, her aesthetic changes according to her mood. This means that she breadfaces (yes, it's a verb now) in everything from casual band T-shirts and preppy dresses to slinky club wear. She told \u003ca href=\"http://www.elle.com/beauty/health-fitness/a32979/breadfacing-instagram-trend/\">\u003cem>Elle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in early 2016: \"I actually don't put too much thought into what I'm wearing. It's usually something I already have on or if you notice it's dressier—it's something I'll be going out in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the music. Much has been made of her eclectic curation of soundtracks, but she once told \u003ca href=\"https://munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/d75ybm/we-spoke-to-a-woman-whos-addicted-to-smashing-her-face-into-bread\">\u003cem>Munchies\u003c/em>\u003c/a>: \"These are songs that I am currently listening to or songs that I never get sick of. I don't pair the breads with the songs, but I will say that the songs do affect how I 'face' the bread.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just look at this unfiltered joy:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BC6wKAAs3a-/?taken-by=breadfaceblog\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard to tell so far how much Bread Face is financially benefitting from her videos. For a while, she accepted donations through her \u003ca href=\"https://www.ebay.com/usr/breadface_blog?_trksid=p2047675.l2559&afsrc=1&rmvSB=true\">eBay account\u003c/a>, where she also sold some clothes, but she no longer lists it on her Instagram profile, and no items are currently for sale there. Her current \"story\" does include baseball caps for $26 via PayPal, but that's a relatively new development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, however, things took a turn for the glamorous when Bread Face was hired for an (amazing) ad campaign for \u003ca href=\"https://sidneygarber.com\">Sidney Garber \u003c/a>-- a Chicago-based fine jewelry company. The end result is nothing short of mesmerizing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba5cxHSFOpw/?taken-by=sidneygarber\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Bread Face has been sharing live videos that take her particular entertainment oeuvre into other realms. A few weeks ago, she recorded herself miming to Janet Jackson through a surgical mask into a gold microphone. Some of the dance was done entirely in silhouette, some was face-on. It was simultaneously voyeuristic and disquieting.

Chances are you've pulled up the Google search page, surprised and perhaps delighted to find the usual blue, red, yellow and green letters transformed to make the Google logo into a colorful cartoonish image to celebrate an important anniversary or holiday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google has been sharing its beloved Google doodles with millions of people around the world since 2000. The\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/doodles/about\"> idea for doodles\u003c/a> came in 1998 after Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin added a stick figure man to the search engine's logo. It was meant as a \"comical message to Google users that the founders were 'out of office.' \" And by out of office, they meant they were at the Burning Man festival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Google has published thousands of doodles with help from the company's doodle team, which includes artists and engineers around the world, says Perla Campos, a Google doodle global marketing lead.

Many doodles take more than a year of planning, with the team churning out about 400 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, they've created doodles to celebrate a range of occasions — from children's first day of school to the 131st anniversary of the hole puncher.

"content": "\u003cp>Picture it: the charming municipality of Bristol, England. A postgraduate student we'll call Pete and an amateur gymnast we'll call Pam meet for the very first time. Thanks to both successfully swiping right on Tinder, they are enjoying a meal at popular British chain restaurant, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nandos.com/food/\">Nando's\u003c/a>. After they eat their peri-peri chicken, they decide to take things back to Pete's place. Everything is going swimmingly. That is until Pam needs to use the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's digress for a moment to ponder the fact that one of the greatest essays ever written by David Sedaris concerns poop. It was called \u003ca href=\"http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a129/sedaris-big-boy-1199/\">\"Big Boy\"\u003c/a> and was about an unfortunate incident that took place one Easter Sunday at a friend's house. Sedaris was attending a party, at which someone had failed to effectively flush. Not wishing to be the person blamed for the horrifying toilet specimen, the task landed on dear David's shoulders to rid the bathroom of what he called \"the biggest piece of work I have ever seen in my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At an early age,\" Sedaris wrote, \"my mother had sat me down and explained that everyone has bowel movements. 'Everyone,' she'd said. 'Even the president and his wife.' She'd mentioned our neighbors, the priest, and several of the actors we saw each week on television. I'd gotten the overall picture, but, natural or not, there was no way I was going to take the rap for this one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I bring Sedaris' relatable social dilemma up as a way to explain why Pam -- yes, we're back in Bristol now, on the Tinder date -- took the drastic step of attempting to throw her own poop out of Pete's bathroom window, when she was unable to effectively flush it. What poor Pam did not know was that Pete's bathroom was in possession of a weird window situation. A double glazing window had been fitted in front of the home's original window, leaving a sizable gap between the two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What this meant was that Pam hadn't thrown her poop out the window at all -- she'd merely thrown it between the two window panes. Unable to retrieve it alone, she called on Pete to assist her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's pause for a moment and imagine how mortifying that must have been for Pam. We're so sorry this happened to you, Pam.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Picture it: the charming municipality of Bristol, England. A postgraduate student we'll call Pete and an amateur gymnast we'll call Pam meet for the very first time. Thanks to both successfully swiping right on Tinder, they are enjoying a meal at popular British chain restaurant, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nandos.com/food/\">Nando's\u003c/a>. After they eat their peri-peri chicken, they decide to take things back to Pete's place. Everything is going swimmingly. That is until Pam needs to use the bathroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's digress for a moment to ponder the fact that one of the greatest essays ever written by David Sedaris concerns poop. It was called \u003ca href=\"http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a129/sedaris-big-boy-1199/\">\"Big Boy\"\u003c/a> and was about an unfortunate incident that took place one Easter Sunday at a friend's house. Sedaris was attending a party, at which someone had failed to effectively flush. Not wishing to be the person blamed for the horrifying toilet specimen, the task landed on dear David's shoulders to rid the bathroom of what he called \"the biggest piece of work I have ever seen in my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At an early age,\" Sedaris wrote, \"my mother had sat me down and explained that everyone has bowel movements. 'Everyone,' she'd said. 'Even the president and his wife.' She'd mentioned our neighbors, the priest, and several of the actors we saw each week on television. I'd gotten the overall picture, but, natural or not, there was no way I was going to take the rap for this one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I bring Sedaris' relatable social dilemma up as a way to explain why Pam -- yes, we're back in Bristol now, on the Tinder date -- took the drastic step of attempting to throw her own poop out of Pete's bathroom window, when she was unable to effectively flush it. What poor Pam did not know was that Pete's bathroom was in possession of a weird window situation. A double glazing window had been fitted in front of the home's original window, leaving a sizable gap between the two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What this meant was that Pam hadn't thrown her poop out the window at all -- she'd merely thrown it between the two window panes. Unable to retrieve it alone, she called on Pete to assist her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
