Google + Math Functions = Hint of Bigger Things to Come?

When I first heard about Google following AlltheWeb's footsteps by integrating math functions into its search box, I was nonplussed. But, after thinking about it a bit more, I think this is a development worthy of highlighting.

When you read through the list of available tools offered by Google's simple, little search box, you begin to see a bigger picture developing, one in which you can save enormous amounts of time by utilizing a central place to find ALL kinds of information, whatever the context.

I mean, when Google can tell you what you really want to know when you search on "half a cup in teaspoons," that's impressive. This type of near-artificial intelligence opens new doors of possibility that I think only hint at what's to come in the search engine space.

If search technology continues to improve, and if the Internet does become as ubiquitous as it seems to be doing, then search engines will not only slay the yellow pages, but they will become, IMHO, the most important sources of technology in history. No kidding!
