At times, If I don't find the answer on google, I feel, what if I had a search engine which could
- search exactly what i wanted, without even breaking everything down to keywords?
- search the stories/articles based on image I have?
- find me a video relevent to my blog post contents so that i can embed it in my blog?
- search using natural language, for example, "Find me a story with an exciting chase scene and a happy ending."
- do a search in one language (say English) and find the answer if it exists in another language (say Kannada)?
- do pervasive search, i.e. do search anytime anywhere?
Imagine, what if you can't access google search for few minutes? You may still be breathing, but for a moment you may feel that world has stopped functioning. "The Internet has had an enormous impact on people's lives around the world in the ten years since Google's founding. It has changed politics, entertainment, culture, business, health care, the environment and just about every other topic you can think of [Google at 10]." As Alan Kay said, "the best way to predict the future is to invent it." Google has "changed the lives around" by inventing innovative search engine before even systematically organizing the searchable data around the world. Looks like they are going to invent many more things in the future to change the way world function today. I found this "Google at 10" series of articles very interesting. Take a look if you find some time. It's worth looking at the future.
