Google Search has been utterly useless for a long time ... It's semantically biased towards returning "ads" rathan than useful links. If you want to find something on the Internet, Google is not the first choice ... you're only going there out of habit or mental laziness.

It's so interesting to imagine what the internet will be like when it isn't universally and easily accessible via search. If everything is behind walled gardens, we may be regressing to the early 2000s or even 90s, when you often had to know the exact addresses of the material you wanted to find. If everything is kept behind walled gardens, will we see decreases in productivity and research as the "world wide web" becomes more like the "global gated ghettos"?
