Wolfram

The article I read is about a search engine called Wolfram. Wolfram was created by a smart man named Stephan Wolfram who is 52 years old and is a software designer. The search engine Wolfram gets its information from its own database unlike google and bing which search the web. The search engine started off small and was only used for small science or math questions that someone might have. Since technology has improved rapidly the search engine that Stephan made now is giving some of the answers for the question answering assistant on the Iphone 4S. Soon the new version of Wolfram is coming out, and will be called Wolfram Alpha Pro. The difference between the two search engines will be the newer version will deal with more data and images. In the article it says that Dr. Wolfram demonstrated his new search engine by dragging a bar graph to the engine, and showing that you can download it in many different formats. Another fact about Wolfram Alpha is that the question answering assistant on the Iphone 4S makes up for about a fourth of the queries fielded by the search engine Wolfram Alpha. I think that this search engine will become a great success, and may even end up being used more than google or even bing. I think that Dr. Stephan Wolfram is going to keep on improving the website until it can not get any better.
