I knew school was a waste of time!

I have often wondered if it really was worth going to school and now it seems I was right to question it with the launch next month of Wolfram Alpha.

It seems that this free program aims to answer questions directly, rather than display web pages in response to a query like a search engine.

The tool computes many of the answers "on the fly" by grabbing raw data from public and licensed databases along with live feeds.

People can use the system to look up simple facts - such as the capital of Australia - or crunch several data sets together to produce new results, such as a country's GDP.

Read more about this on Stephen Wolfram's blog.

The question is will the above search bar on www.wolframalpha.com replace Google Search?
