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

We're going to be covering

both of these topics.

13

15

16

to make these data centers work,

17

:

actually, in some cases more

so than the electrical demands

19

:

are starting to cause some problems.
