Google is marking Valentine’s Day with a global doodle celebrating the way “technology brings people together”.
The internet giant has created five short animations to appear on its search engine homepage, depicting modern romance.
Many people argue the increasing use of smart phones, tablets and the internet can distance people from their loved ones but Google wanted to show how love and technology can go-hand in hand.
The short stories start with the two "o" letters in its logo coming to life in different scenes.
One is seen on its phone, sending a heart emoticon to the letter of its dreams. It sweats with nerves while anxiously waiting for a text back until the red "o" comes to give it a kiss.
