Is it because of what we see as a physical manifestation of ourselves (my hands, feet etc) or our thoughts..?

Kind of like what TurboTax does for taxes but applied to everything else and preferably for FREE.<br /><br />To be precise I am thinking of those tasks which don't involve any physical labor, but involve a bit of back and forth (looking for people's phone numbers, checking my calendar, finding the right web site, entering my credit cards, etc ), e.g. scheduling a house cleaning appointment, paying a parking ticket, buying theater tickets etc ... if these kind of things could be universally automated so I only have to click through web prompts and confirm accuracy then it would be a good step forward. <br /><br />I suspect that this is being worked on.rwebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128005962472194043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-69264548540233979672013-06-20T13:18:29.829-05:002013-06-20T13:18:29.829-05:00That was [part of] an April Fool's joke from G...That was [part of] an April Fool's joke from Google several years ago: http://www.google.com/mail/help/autopilot/<br /><br />That doesn't mean they aren't also working on it...Andy Parrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252029594014518238noreply@blogger.com
