without us having to input anything. I recently synced my phone to my car's dash so i could make hands free calls and get my texts on the touch screen....now every time i get in my car from my house or from my job a notification pops up telling me how long it will take to get to the other.

i never told my phone where i work. i never put my address in. it doesn't pop up when i'm at the store or at someone else's house. only my house and my job. somehow this thing used data of my car rides and figured out where my home is and where my job is. how in the fuck....

well fuckin obviously but the fact that it's able to look at data based on where i drive, how often i drive, and how often i stay at certain places to figure out which one is my job and which one is my house is wild to me.

I like how my phone advertises things that my colleagues talk about at work that I've never Googled or anything. I'm assuming the Pixel 2 microphone listens to conversation and advertised based on that.

Technology is awesome.

Ok. But it is very simple to do.
It just realizes that at night you are at one place so that must be home.

Then during the day you are at a different place for 8 hours, so that must be your work.
