Search Becomes More Like Human Memory
November 1, 2018
The one advantage humans have always had over computers is our dynamic ability to index thoughts, memories, and opinions. However, those days of superiority might be over if one company has its way. We learned more about how our search is becoming a lot more like a brain in a recent Silicon Canals story, “History Search: Here’s How This Rotterdam Startup Helps to Retrieve Information Online.”
Here’s the short and sweet on History Search:
“With this startup, you can keep your information organized on the web. It is done by indexing the text on the web pages automatically while browsing and making it searchable with any keyword that you remember. Basically, History Search saves your time every time you need to open a web page.”
Basically, you can recall a snippet of something you once read ages ago and have it brought back to your eyes. Sounds a lot like a human brain. If that wasn’t weird enough, some AI companies are even making more human like strides. For example, experts think smells will soon be indexed and searchable. Smell any hype lately?
