LONDON - She sent her first e-mail in 1976 and has long had her own website.
On Thursday, the Queen tried her hand at uploading a video to YouTube during a visit to Google's British headquarters.
The company celebrated the monarch's visit by creating a special version of its google.co.uk home page.
It featured a silhouette of the Queen's head as the second "G" and a regal crown atop the "E" in their logo.
During the visit, the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, saw a demonstration of the company's technology and met schoolchildren who won a competition to design their own Google "doodles" -- the name the Mountain View, Calif.,-based company calls special editions of their blue, green, red and yellow logo.
The royal couple also met users of the Google-owned YouTube video website, including Peter Oakley, an 81-year-old known as "Geriatric1927." Oakley's videos on the site earned him a nomination for a YouTube award in 2006.
The 82-year-old monarch also has a presence on YouTube -- she launched the Royal Channel in December.
There are 54 videos on the channel, which range from the Queen's 1957 Christmas message to a day in the life of Prince Charles.
On Thursday, she uploaded archive footage to the channel of a 1969 reception at Buckingham Palace for British Olympians.
After their visit to Google, the royal couple planned to host a reception for nearly 600 British Olympians at Buckingham Palace, the monarch's London home.
