In recent weeks Google has introduced the latest evolution of the extraordinary intuitive search project launched with Hummingbird: MyAnswers.
If you are logged into Gmail, the process becomes very simple. Just make a request on the Research band-or by voice through a microphone-and the system will be able to respond, retrieving information from Google’s personal database and beyond. In fact, all useful information within our “little” G-world will be taken into account and cross-referenced with each other; namely: Gmail, Google Calendar, Google+ or Google Drive. But don’t worry about privacy! Google takes care to show the information only to you – encrypted and securely – after you actually log into your Google account.
Google Answer meets your needs
Whatever you want to know, Google will satisfy you. Just formulate your question and information about likely flights, reservations, photos, or anything else will be “revealed.” Let’s give a few examples to better understand.
Do you want to know your reservations?
Ask Google “when is my reservation?” or “where is my hotel?” and it will tell you exactly what you need, taking the worry out of searching. It will do it for you.
Want to know your flight schedule?
Then ask “When is my flight?” and you will be given the necessary coordinates-such as terminal and gate numbers and departure times.
Want to interact with your contacts or learn about one of them?
Ask for the number you are interested in and Google will retrieve the information saved in Google Contacs. Want to make a call but your hands are full? Just say “Call Guy” and you’re done!
Have you bought online and want to know the arrival of your packages?
Ask “When will my package arrive?” and Google will track automatically.
Have you forgotten your appointments?
Google is your reminder! Just ask “what are my plans for tomorrow ? ” to get the information about your upcoming events and appointments. You can, in addition, set the reminder that alerts you in advance.
Looking for a particular photo among your albums?
You can type-or say into the microphone-a detail of the photo you are looking for, and as if by magic you will get it among the catalogs of the latest activities. It’s easy: just tap the microphone, say, for example, “My nature photos,” and the requested photos appear.
It seems that our activities are dwindling. Technology is always moving forward, and we can sit comfortably in our armchairs and have everything done by our smartphones.
