    Smartwatches were supposed to liberate us from phones. Instead, they often added complexity to something as simple as checking the time or counting steps.

    Google has detonated the foundation of the internet. Search, the product that defined the company and shaped how the web is navigated, is being re-engineered from the ground up. The blue links that funnel over half a trillion dollars in digital advertising are being pushed aside in favour of something more ambitious: an AI system that interprets, reasons, and acts.
