Another Way to Search the Web
Typically when one searches the internet, it's required to type in text to the search box to get the information that one is seeking. There is an application on the Android mobile phone platform that can actually add a new element to search the web. Instead of typing in text, one can simply take a picture of an object. From this picture the web will be searched for that object.
Technology has increased to the point where this is easily possible. If you were to find a book that you want more information on, take a quick snap shot of that book and get information on it just as if you typed the name of that book into the search engine. This can be extremely useful when you have a picture of something but just can't remember the name.
Despite sounding convenient there are drawbacks that Google has already recognized. The application still need to be improved because some pictures don't get back the intended result just because at times there is quite a bit of information in just one picture.
