300 Years to Index the World's Information

Posted by Zonk on from the everything-else-to-be-destroyed dept.

Kasracer writes "At the Association of National Advertisers annual conference, Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt suggested that it would take 300 years for them to index all of the world's information. From the article: 'We did a math exercise and the answer was 300 years,' Schmidt said in response to an audience question asking for a projection of how long the company's mission will take. 'The answer is it's going to be a very long time.'"

    Can someone call Google and ask them to hurry up indexing the world's information, specifically, my bedroom. I need my socks...
