Google - The Mind Reader

Today I gave a tech news report about the Google CEO having a vision of the future that the search engine would give people answers without them searching -- if they like a certain cuisine, Google would notify their phone of sueggested restaurants around the area they are near. Clearly the individual would have to program the things they like into their phone or Google, or Google would pick up on common searches and make assumptions based on that. It does make me concerned that eventually businesses will pay to have their name shown for certain categories, thus making the results less genuine and tailored to the individual's preferences..so I definitely do not think this is a matter of making things convenient for Google users, but just another way for Google to capitalize off of marketing.

  1. It would also be helpful if I could turn this service on when I'm hungry and searching, or off when I'm not.....
