The inspiration for this latest version of Gcrawler came from a Google user complaining about their regular inability to find the car keys. “Why can’t I Google for them, he said” , recalls Larry Page, Google co-founder and president of Google’s Product division.

The spiders will be constructed in various sizes in Google’s new nano-factory which is located in a secret location in Mountain View *.

Each spider will have one or more sensors for scanning the world’s information with onboard OCR, object recognition and GIS systems. The crawler’s will have full access to index the world’s information whether it be stored in books, movies, radio, cupboards, local hangouts or down the back of the couch.

Homeowner’s concerned with privacy issues will be free to place a ‘robotSpiders.txt’ doormat with details of what they do not want to be indexed and directions on how frequently. Applying meta information via post-it notes will assist Google in giving relevancy to the information it collects.

* Viewable by Google Maps, though.
