They are much more sustainable than older methods of communication and industry. They are also much more convenient. Take, for example, the simplicity and ease of using email.

For example: In the past, if you wanted to know what your friends were doing when they weren't with you, there was no way of tracking that information until now. With tools like Google Assistant and other similar programs like Siri, Alexa, and Cortana, now we can easily ask AI for updates on our friends all the time.
