I don't miss Clippy, per se, but I miss the era when helpful little things had faces. Alexa is a faceless void, like a Shit Janet that spies on you. "Hey, Google" is like being in the future without the dignity of saying, "Computer: Tea, Earl Grey, hot." Where's the soul of any of these things? Where's the joy?

Do you think it'd help if we uploaded a three-hour "Hitchhiker's Guide EXPLAINED" to YouTube-... waaait a minute...
That's the alternate-universe story to produce, where a summary goes viral and everybody important in Silicon Valley says "oh, damn, they're right," and closes up shop to sell frozen yogurt...
