The Internet is an idiot savant. We'll probably never teach it how to talk. We have to learn how to talk to it. Right now, we say unconnected words and phrases, and it brings us everything about that. Out of this will come a set of simple verbs and adjectives, some we've never thought of before. And that will be it, most likely. But it will be all we need.

We will say, "It's Sunday." And it will say, "Amen."
