The document summarizes developments in science and technology search and their impact, including: 1. Increased digitization of repositories has made more full text and data available in searchable formats. 2. Computer processing of digitized information has enabled new capabilities like semantic markup, deep indexing of tables and images, and structure searching of chemicals. 3. Social computing technologies allow scientists to collaborate and share information in new ways like through blogs, wikis, and video sharing.

9. Examples: how much can I improve fuel efficiency by making my car more aerodynamic? What is the average drag coefficient of a modern passenger car?

10. Maybe the customer should just consider changing the mirrors?
