6. It’s all about the ability to search
with a one-click app
It’s about to change the world as we
know it regarding our digital future
Jan 29, 2012 at 10:35am ET by Jimmy Drumel
After only months on the market, the ability to click, swipe,
or think about a search is becoming norm. We all remember
the pager, the text message, the ring tone; will open your
mind and let the search results enter.
“With the app initially installed on my phone and synced to
my email, it was able to begin finding patterns in my mental
process, creating a list of possibly questions I may have in
the future. Eventually it caught up with my brain and I don’t
have to type, make a phone call, click a mouse…I just think
and ‘ping’ the result is in!”
-Bob Pucket
