Personal Operating System and Search Engine

I’m hopping on the nerd train for this post. Ok, I guess that I always have at least one foot on the nerd train (despite my attempts to act like I don’t). I have been extremely busy for the last little while, in just about every area. There have been a few moments that were really frustrating. Most of them involved not remembering where I put something. Or, leaving something somewhere, that I meant to bring with me, etc.

Each time this occurred, I thought how much easier it would be if human brains had a search function. For example: at some point my brain told my hand to take my b-berry out of my hand and put it on the table. Maybe it was subconscious, I don’t know. The fact is, next time I reached for my b-berry, it was no longer in my pocket, and I didn’t know where it was. How great would it be, if I could have just done a search for it, the same way that I can search my inbox, or Google or pretty much any type of digital file? Instead, I had to do the old school analog-type of search. Instead of just typing “where did I leave my blackberry” into some field and striking “enter,” analog searches are performed by frantically walking around to every room passed through in the last day, cursing under the breath, and looking around like someone pryed your eyes open during a REM cycle. My life would be so much more efficient if  I could just skip over the pain of analog searching. I hope that at some future point, all brains come standard with a search function. Tadd, could you work on inventing something like that?
