Mark Daiss’ smartphone is more knowledgeable than the average device. It memorizes the Yahoo employee’s habits and where he lives and works. It can guess his next move and help him find the way to his next meeting. When he plugs in his headphones, it knows he wants to listen to music.
At any moment, his phone will suggest what he should know, and download information based on his location, the time of day and his own routine. It’s sort of like Samantha, the futuristic computer operating system in the movie “Her” — without the sexy voice.
