I'm not sure. It might help prevent a few wars if more people could understand each other. OTOH, it would also probably cause a few wars.

Homophones are bad if you're trying to get to the right room (was it five two or five too), but good if you're a smartass, poking fun at linguistic problems and someone else getting lost.
Maybe they can pull water from Uranus.
I had mixed feelings about W95. There were a lot of improvements over Win 3X, but stability wasn't one of them. There was one day it went down 15 times! In one 8 hour day! That's no exaggeration, I actually counted the reboots. The upside is, I got a lot of breaks.
Probably both.
I think its the exact opposite if I understood it correctly. The wife is required to reach out three times and if the husband doesn't respond then the judge will assume that contact has been made and ignored and the divorce can proceed.
I thought that was only for summoning ghosts.
But, as an otherwise bad movie pointed out, there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom.
So far, the tech stuff that I used to use reference manuals for, has been reliable, though I suppose I could get into trouble if I happened on the wrong site.
If I don't have a FB account, people think I'm suspicious. If I do have a FB account, people KNOW I'm suspicious!
That's not unique to Google. Before Google, I'd look up stuff in reference manuals. If I didn't use it regularly, I'd forget it, but I knew where the books were. Google is just a more convenient version of that.
When I took the buss there were no "apps". I think they do have notification on when the next bus is coming, but that would just mean I'd know that I just missed the damn thing instead of just suspecting it.
Keep in mind, that though you can eat and sleep in a self-driving car, you'll still want to stop to poop. Presumably you won't do THAT in your car.
Your experience is far different from mine. When I took the bus to work, I was close to a bus stop, but I usually got to the downtown stop just in time to miss the bus from there to work, which meant a 15 minute wait in whatever bad weather was coming down. Plus, the bus route wasn't direct. A straight line in the car was about 30-40 minutes. The bus trip was 60-90 minutes each way, assuming the busses were all on time.
Judging by some of the busses I've seen, puke is the least of the problems.
I think if I never left my house, I'd GO crazy.
