Letting machines do the work (London)


Trying to find out when electric pumps first came about at petrol stations, so typed in Google box: "electric petrol pumps when did they first come about".  Back came a prompt from Google: "Did you mean: car electric petrol pumps when did they first came about".  Note: They italicised and emboldened "came" in case I missed it!

On a separate occasion, first spotted on Sunday 08 January 2017, FaceBook asked me:  "What did you study at SOAS, University of London, MA Linguistics in 1994?"  I won't be totally redundant soon then (as a human / teacher / translator / proofreader).

Update, 12 Jan 2017:  Hahaha, another one from FaceBook:
