On Cember 8, 2009 Google introduced Google Goggles image recognition and search technology for the Android mobile device operating system.  If you photographed certain types of individual objects with your mobile phone the program would recognize them and automatically display links to relevant information on the Internet.If you pointed your phone at a building the program would identify it by GPS and identify it. Then if you clicked on the name of the building it would bring up relevant Internet links.
