Probably one of the most sought after and most anticipated to improve tremendously in the future would be the search engines.

Google, Yahoo and Bing are yet the top 3 search engines in terms of the number of users and speed of data today. But these two criteria and others, will no longer be the main basis for any of these 3 search engines to win the battle.

In 2035, according to News of the Future, your search engines will be like a friend or your university librarian whom you can ask online or talk via phone anytime. Whatever questions you have in mind, you can talk it out with TalkTalk.

TalkTalk is the future of search engines. With artificial intelligence, search engines will turn into a talking machine!

TalkTalk is actually in the works today. Although 2035 is far from our time now, TalkTalk is already getting massive reactions from people who are quite curious and even doubtful if it will really happen in the future.

We don't know, Google might be the first to launch such a technology in less time than predicted.

Would you like Nexi to teach you how human strangers trust?

Would you like Nexi to teach you how human strangers trust?

Would you trust a stranger? Maybe not, or maybe yes, at some point. But would you let a humanoid teach you how humans develop their trust to strangers?

Probably, out of curiosity, you would say "Yes!" But, this is in fact, true and an on-going study among experts from the fields of psychology, robotics and economics.

This interdisciplinary study is a collaboration of the MIT Media Lab's Personal Robots Group, Robert Frank, an economist, and David Pizarro, a psychologist, both from Cornell. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the researchers have taken advantage of a humanoid, named Nexi, a talking and moving robot.

Nexi, performs an actual conversation with participants using human-like hand and body gestures, which have been pre-programmed to mimic humans way of expressing or developing trustworthiness to strangers.

The study is conducted to determine, how humans interact with strangers, in a gesture or gestures that they might gain their trust.
