Conspiracy theories abound that our devices are already
listening to us (and of course now with Alexa and other
specifically designed devices, they do). But most of the
effect that inspires these conspiracies is caused by ad
retargeting.
This idea is about an app using voice recognition to
continuously scan your conversation and, using nothing
more than it's own statistical analysis on top of Google's
already impressive predictive capabilities (demonstrated
today in terms of predicting what you want to search for as
you type), having for you the results of the most likely
searches your current conversation trend is likely to
produce, so that you wouldn't even have to type it.

Um, are we allowed to annotate this?
It's dark outside - that car in the street opposite seems to have been there a long time...
Who do I call.....? |

The title left me with visions of some sort of librarian /
Attila
the Hun hybrid guarding my locale library door & enforcing
arbitrary library rules with a sword of
prodigious (meaning silly) proportions, whips & spiky metal
implements of obscure purpose, by preference the eye-
candy female version. |

So, Xena the Warrior Librarian then ? Actually, that might work. On the downside, it might work too well. |

//Xena the Warrior Librarian// Conan the Librarian, shirley? |
|
|
as much as I like, Xena, ++ for Conan the Librarian, [MB] |

Yup, though I (a little reluctantly) have to switch my vote to
Conan the Librarian (damn you [Max]!), it's just too good
a wordplay not to. |

Conan the Tipperarian ;
Heinlein the Libertarian ;
Adolf the Failed Aryan ;
[Teacup] the other Ontariariarian :D |

I'd be somewhat shocked if Siri et al don't have a hidden switch that does this. |
