The Past, Present and Future of SEARCH
The Internet is the single most comprehensive collection of information in the history of mankind.
But when you have virtually every piece of information ever compiled in one place, how the heck do you find anything?
That challenge is what folks have been working with since before the Internet became a public utility.
Do you remember some of the old search engines you used to use? Do you use anything other than Google today? Are you even aware of all of the alternative search engines available.
Listen in as we take a stroll down the Internet Search memory lane and look forward to the next generation of Search!
Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. You can post questions on
Facebook
or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the
ask a question page.
