Most of us today with internet access have a huge dependency on a single company: Google. Have you really thought about it? Most of us on the internet use them for every search which today means using them to find out pretty much anything. This is quite scary when you think that you use Google to determine which product to buy, to find a friend or a person you just met, find out an important fact, do some research, etc... A company actually controls what and how information is being fed to the majority of the literate world population! Massive.
Now, many internet companies have a business model based on providing something free, create a need, and once the need is there, start charging for their services. What if Google suddenly said you had to pay for every search, a small amount, let´s say 0.1 US cents? That for you would be nothing but have you thought how much money would they make?
I actually like Google, I like their philosophy and their values. But Sergei and Larry are not going to be there ad eternum.

If they started charging for searches I believe most people who change to another search engine.
