If you think the Google's Pixel event on Tuesday was about Android, I think you missed the point. I think Tuesday was about the beginning of the end of google.com. 

If you think about it, the idea of opening a web page and typing a request or question in a little box to get information is very unnatural, if not down right stupid. 

The message I got is that in the future, you won't use google.com for information, instead you will simply ask the Google Assistant for that information.

If you are looking for the model for what Google is shooting for, it is the computer on Star Trek. You push a button, you ask Google a question or ask Google to do something, and it understands you and fills the request.

Tuesday was really all about the Assistant, and if it succeeds as Google dreams it will, then October 4, 2016 will indeed a historical date.
