Wolfram, a Search Engine, Finds Answers Within Itself



Stephen Wolfram is an old scientist, software designer and entrepreneur, and tends to go his own path with results. When he was 15 he will write his first physics paper, earn his Ph. D and then win a MacArthur prize. Dr. Wolfram will create a new search engine that will beat out Google and bing. This search engine you can find out about an fact, problem or equation. At first the critics did not like what Wolfram was doing because at first it was only used for math and scientifict facts. Now that technology has advanced and he has expanded his website; now you can find out about any fact about the world or country's history. This website is based off of all facts during history and recent events. As Dr. Wolfram said, “We’re starting to have the ability to understand data and images in the way we understand text queries.” This would defiantly be a good and reliable source because it is up to date and the facts are true. I went to this search engine and it is very easy to use. All of the links work and the website is complete. I even typed in one of my math homework problems and got the correct answer. If you ever had a question about who was the 7th president it will tell you and give a brief description on him. I believe that this search engine is going to be one of the most used engine's in the world. This is the building block of a new way to find good and trustworthy information. This website has surpassed the Almanac and now is more accessible and has facts about everything that has occurred through history. I have been using this search engine and I love it. The information you get is not only the answer but a brief description on the subject or how they got the answer. This search engine is going to be key in the present and the future.
