Goofram really shines when you're searching for information about a topic that could potentially have a lot of numerical information as well as text-based information. For example, when I searched using the phrase, "first person to climb Mount Everest," the result was a column of links, generated by Google, to articles about Mount Everest and a column of statistical information, generated by Wolfram Alpha, about Mount Everest.
Applications for EducationGoofram could be a good resource for science and mathematics students conducting online research. By having statistical information displayed side-by-side with text-based information students will save time as they are essentially getting a two-for-one with Goofram.
