This idea of searching by speech or images seems ... uninspired. Claiming the interface will change and we'll search by speech or images is a linear progression from text searching.
How about framing the problem as proactive vs reactive searches? Piece together enough fragmented data about me to know what song I'll have stuck in my head and don't know the name of, recognize my email contains a course syllabus and auto-populate my calendar with assignments and study times... a million other proactive tasks all done with me in mind.
Geez these guys are talking about changing the interface... try and get rid of the interface all together!
You're ideas seem like massive invasions of privacy. I get we're trending towards a loss of it (it may be inevitable). But yeah I can get my own sandwhich while you get you're auto delivered to you seconds before you wanted it.
That's what makes Google Now so cool. It's not super advanced (yet?), but in many circumstances it's quite good at automatically giving you the information you need.
