Google paint 2019 internet picture

12:41 19th September 2008

Google has attempted to paint a picture of what internet searches will be like in 2019.

The world's pre-eminent search engine has suggested that the growth of cloud computing and internet connectivity will drive searches to new levels over the next ten years.

In the latest of a series of articles, Google vice president of engineering Alfred Spector and research scientist Franz Och envisage a greater pool of data to index online and a larger, richer database of information originating from a greater variety of sources.

They wrote: "Computer systems will have greater opportunity to learn from the collective behaviour of billions of humans.

"They will get smarter, gleaning relationships between objects, nuances, intentions, meanings, and other deep conceptual information."

Earlier this month, a new government backed project was launched aimed at boosting privacy and to stem the flow of personal information on the internet.
