In the future you will go to a search engine and say: I want a peperoni pizza and a coke and next thing you know it will be at you door…

A nice little easter egg in Google calculator. Fans of hitchikers guide to the galaxy will appreciate this:-
Do a Google for “the answer to life, the universe and everything” and the answer is….

I’m glad to see that you could still remember the relevant formulae to work this out. My own pet project (www.calcResult.com) avoids that problem by combining the formula into a specific calculator, but it is a real problem doing much about SEO, as this means that each page of the site is about a different subject. What can I do about that?

QUOTE:
“I think that by not too long from now Google will actually access all of the world’s information. Maybe not things like ‘how much did john pay for his cup of coffee two months and three days ago?’ but maybe things like really returning the answer to any question asked on Google.”

Don’t be so sure… you underestimate the G. Keep in mind that if a person uses GMail for all of his personal e-mail, GTalk for all of his Instant Messaging, consolidates his bookmarks with the Google FireFox extension, runs Google Desktop and Google Toolbar with a Personalized Home page, shops for everything through Google Checkout, inputs his personal journal on Blogger and does all of his business documents on Writely, maps out his driving destinations with Google Maps and inputs his telephone queries with Google Local…

All things considered, I’d say Google knows more about that kind of person than the person knows about himself. I’m looking at you, Mr. Cutts. I bet if I walked into Google HQ and fought my way past the GNinjas to the Central Core, and input my query into Geep Thought, It could tell me what kind of pastry you prefer at three in the afternoon on a Wednesday in May.

There are certainly some neat features nowadays. I like the currency conversion feature that Google now offers. Enter “100 gbp in dollars” and it throws back “100 British pounds = 190.27 U.S. dollars”.

Now that IS neat!

As to what’s next, goodness knows… but I look forward to it.

I must say you really need a book search. I agree with McMohan. In fact, a printed book search is what is required.
I just get fed up of finding something in the books if I’d learned them some months ago but need a reference to it right now. It’s too hard to find something useful in the table of contents page.
I suggest the best technology would be adding of search pad or something which would come handy with books.

What happens to somebody who walks between the sending and recieving devices? ryan said….

The signal gets interuppted, and needs to get re-transmitted.
It would involve some type of transducer, something that conducts one form of energy to another, like a microphone converting the air pressure waves that act on the diaphragm or ribbon in the mic and converts it to electrical impluses that travel through the wire, until it hits the speaker and then converts back to impulses that make the speakers respond accordingly displacing air which utltimately hits our ear drums and we get sound.
