New ways to find answers
Sometimes we have to admit that education is not an obvious process. The teacher may know more than the student but only the student can learn. By that same principle all of us undergo years of self education. Things are presented to us and with enough time we will learn what is involved. Right now the world is facing something known as AI. There are very few clear answers about what this actually entails. I am at the beginning pages of learning about this technology and I have to find examples that clarify the situation for me.

Through the magic of AI because we still see it as magic the articles in that drawer could be identified and classified. And then you could use your computer to find objects that you had filed incorrectly.

Finally we may have a way to make the process more obvious. No need for me to be standing by when you could scan the drawer with your cell phone and have a I find what you were looking for I want to know where this is going to go because I sense that something important is about to begin.
