...the London-born physicist claims his website 'Wolfram Alpha' can
understand what you are looking for and calculate a single precise answer.
So in theory it will be able to answer questions such as 'What is the location of
Timbuktu?', 'How many protons are in the hydrogen atom?' and 'Where is the
International Space Station?'
'There will be one simple input field that gives access to a huge system, with trillions of pieces of curated data and millions of lines of algorithms,' Professor Wolfram said.
This ability to process natural language, understanding everyday speech as well as
computer-programming language, could prove to be a leap forward in how humans
interact with computers.
The stuff of science fiction, but this should make more accurate searching possible. When it is launched I will give it a go and let you know how I get on.
