The private

lives of young people are now so well documented on the internet that many will have to change their names on

reaching adulthood, Google’s CEO has claimed.

The 55-year-old also predicted that in the

future, Google will know so much about its users that the search engine will be able to help them plan their

lives.

Using profiles of it customers and tracking their locations through their smart

phones, it will be able to provide live updates on their surroundings and inform them of tasks they need to do.


"We're trying to figure out what the future of search is," Mr Schmidt said. “One idea is

that more and more searches are done on your behalf without you needing to type.


"I actually think

most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing

next."

He suggested, as an example, that because Google would know “roughly who you are, roughly

what you care about, roughly who your friends are”, it could remind users what groceries they needed to buy

when passing a shop.

mine.
