Google's a clear leader in the search engine world, but I was thinking that it's capabilities are still at a baby stage. So far, Google's done a good job of searching the relevant text from its huge database; but text is just a small fraction of the total content available on the Internet. Google simply cannot search the content available in the form of audio and video! If we go by the saying an image is worth thousand words; then just imagine the size of information available in the world in the form of audio and video that the search engines need to be able to find!
I think even if engineers figure out a way to discover what's embedded in the audio and video files; it won't be much useful; because the computers still suck at associating anything with the context & the history (in several cases).
When I think about it - and the computing power required by modern search engines; making sense of things will require at least 1000x the power we currently need. Given how the data centers have a negative impact on the environment; the future of computing looks very limited to me.
What do you think about audio & video search? Will Google or other search engines be able to figure out everything? Where do you think is the computing headed?
