Awwww, those poor secretaries. Their careers are doomed.

Seen the new Google Secretary system? She (or he, if you prefer a male voice) books haircuts, travel, meetings, and doctor appointments. She/he pays bills, deals with setting up conference calls, notes conflicts, never gets sick or goes on vacation, and costs about 30 bucks a month. There's not a ton that Mabel does as a secretary in real life that the Google Secretary can't do, except get coffee. And provide loving approvals. Yet.
