Let me give you one example that felt like magic. I was taking a trip to New York on business. At 4pm I come off the train at Penn Station and pull out my phone to look up the hotel confirmation I got two weeks before so I can get directions. When I turned it on, a Google Now card was there saying "Carlton Hotel, you're checking in today." I click it and up come directions. Now, I performed absolutely NO action to make that happen. I just had a confirmation by email that it had picked up. Now maybe that's creepy to some people but it saved me a lot of fiddling around with the phone to find the confirmation and it knew exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it. Isn't that what computers are supposed to do for us?
