Search and Power

This is Bill Sikkens, host of User

2

Friendly 2.0 Saturdays here on The Answer

with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3

Search engines have changed a lot

since the onset of the internet.

4

This was something that started out

5

as a way to look up certain things,

and it was very basic.

6

And today, search engines or AI driven

and have the ability

7

to not only just search for a website,

8

but for search for things within it

and do a lot of other things.

9

And in addition to that,

we're seeing this adopted

10

use of AI increasing the power demands.

11

This week on user friendly 2.0.

12

We're going to be covering

both of these topics.

13

What's happening with search,

the direction that's going to go,

14

and if you can even still search

without AI.

15

And for those using AI

where they're getting the power and water

16

and everything else

to make these data centers work,

17

There is a lot of controversy over this

because the water demands

18

actually, in some cases more

so than the electrical demands

19

are starting to cause some problems.
