Google Answers Hypothetical Questions?

Will ever search engines get so good as to answer a question like, "Should I continue to study or get a job?" Google, the czar of search engines, says yes. According to the web major, it is trying to retain search data of users for longer periods exactly for this. The more one tracks a person's search behaviour the more will be one's understanding of him or her. Finally, a search engine will get to know a user so well that it will be able to answer even the most intimate of questions. Or give suggestions at least. Now that Internet watchdogs have termed it hostile to privacy, Google has decided not to retain search data for more than 18 months. But it will still provide an option for those who are willing to let it keep data. In lonely days, the search engine might be your only friend.
