Find it for me

Why do I have to enter in such strange things as .com and http:// when using this internet thing. I just want to type in what i’m after and to be presented with the information immediately. I don’t have time to search through unreliable search results.
The issues:

  1. Ambiguity. Computers need to understand the full parameters of what i’m looking for. Computers are more intelligent than us, no doubt, but they don’t understand our intelligence, therefore they are stupid or in reality we are stupid, because we can’t use them properly yet.
  2. Independence of information. Who decides what is appropriate information for me. Google currently do and they are a big company that is potentially the same as Microsoft, McDonalds, Coca Cola and all of the other disgraceful companies except they are either not like those companies or are like those companies but are more discreet about it and have grasped the need for big business to empower their users (or pretend to empower their users). This is a complex issue. Governments could control it, but I don’t trust my government either.
