Google has to be the greatest search engine around.
Not only can you search for anything on the web, including the very first post you ever made to a newsgroup, it will also do conversions for you. In the search window type 250 kilowatts in horsepower and it will convert it for you. I just found a few more things it can do.. It will define terms for you aswell, type define World Wide Web It gives you: Web definitions for World Wide Web Often referred to as WWW or the Web, this usually refers to information available on the Internet that can be easily accessed with software usually called a "browser." Organizations publish their information on the Web in a format known as HTML; this information is usually referred to as their "home page" or "web site". Also Type population of Australia It returns: Australia Population: 20,090,437 (July 2005 est.)

It also means the internet has turned us into lazy slobs in some instances, when once we had to use our brain to calculate notions such as the amount of hours in a year.
I was going to turn into a lazy slob anyway, so it hasn't affected me.
