THE SEARCH ENGINE

I believe that the search engine will only get bigger and bigger. I think if anything, there will be a need for more search engines. The ones that are already out there will only continue to get bigger as time goes on. I do feel though that the search engines that are already established will get involved into other avenues in order to expand their product. The search engine brand will expand far past the internet. The one area that I feel that these engines will start to target immediatley is the music business. Microsoft I think will be one of the first ones to lead the charge. Mircospft already sees how much money Apple is making off of the IPod. The IPod in my opinion saved Apple. In 2005, sales of Apple went up by 26 percent from 2004. With the IPhone that came out close to a year ago, it does not seem like Apple is going to slow down anythime soon. Even though Microsoft is still the leading computer of choice among comsumers, they would be commiting suicide if they did not jump on the bandwagon also. I have a feeling that they are going to get into that market very soon f they have not gotten into in already. I'm even surprised that Mircospft did not get into the field sooner. That's why in this area Apple is way ahead of Microsoft. They saw a market that they could expliot and they ran with it. I do feel though that the one search engine to keep an eye on is Google. Don't be surprised to see Google make a couple of powermoves themselves in the computer world and beyond in the years to come.
