Search Engines: Developing Technology will Dwarf Today’s Search Options

http://search-engines-web.com/ writes “Here’s One From Time. The search engines by the end of the decade will offer a variety of Advanced searching capabilities that will dwarf what is available today. It will change the way humans interface with computers and make today’s methods seem as outmoded as telex machines and brick-size mobile phones. “Search will ultimately be as good as having 1,000 human experts who know your tastes scanning billions of documents within a split second,” says Gary Flake, one of just seven Distinguished Engineers at Microsoft, who are paid to think big thoughts. “It will model the human brain.”

    Flying Cars
    You know, we are supposed to be flying around town in our flying cars instead of using computers. I’m very skeptical of claims of modeling the human brain.

    Generally, what we can do with computers is have very smart humans come up with a repeatable process that a computer can do much more efficiently than a human can. However, they don’t ‘think’ independently of humans. In fact I believe we are going to find out that like warp speed and time travel, its impossible to model the human brain.
