Oh, you nerds!

Google offered up their annual April Fools prank at the stroke of midnight, and, per usual, you'd have to be pretty gullible to fall for it. This year's is absurd suggestion? Gmail Motion.

"The mouse and keyboard were invented before the Internet even existed," reads the introductory post. "Since then, countless technological advancements have allowed for much more efficient human computer interaction. Why then do we continue to use outdated technology?"

Past Google April Fools pranks include Gmail Paper, Google Custom Time and Google Romance
