The contribution of the Internet for the purpose of researching was undeniably a great one. In fact, researchers prefer to use the Internet as the information source rather than books. But are you one of those who have gotten tired of the numerous pages of results being showed to you when in fact it is monotonous in content? Well, Wolfram Alpha will be the key for this problem.
Wolfram Alpha is the computer software invented by Dr. Stephen Wolfram, a British inventor, which will function in the same way as Google. However, the difference is that it will provide the very answer for the specific query the user has entered. Wolfram Alpha will not only give you straight answer but will give you detailed charts and images of the people or thing you are researching on. It will also feature more accurate results since the answers that will be given will be assessed first by experts. With these distinct feats, Wolfram Alpha might be able to surpass the ability or search engines such as Google and Wikipedia.
For me who is an avid user of the Internet, if Wolfram Alpha will be released (probably near the end of the month of May), Google and Wikipedia will be obsolete search engines to some extent. With the birth of the Wolfram Alpha, the research of students and other researchers will be easy since accurate answers will be given with detailed representations.
You can also set Black Google as your default search engine, and still get results from other search engines without ever leaving the page using their Black Google feature. You can search any major site such as Google, YouTube, Amazon and eBay by preceding the search term with “!youtube†or “!google†and so forth – and you will automatically be taken to a list of search results from that service. It also works with keywords such as weather, images, and lyrics.
