What total nonsense. These "cards" just represent what a smartphone can reasonably show. As anyone who's ever tried to read a web "page" on a phone will attest, the format is less than ideal, except possibly on the bigger phablets. Short snippets of content (the Readers Digest version) is just a convenient format, see google weather, tweets, pins etc for examples. Think of it this way, search results are a list pointing to a page, a card is an intermediate format, better than the list item, less than the page.
