This is true, although I would say that Google is proof enough that the
technology exists to be able to automatically categorize and organize
arbitrary documents for quick retrieval.  I agree with you, though - if
the system requires any additional input from the user in order for it
to function correctly, it is useless.  If it can automatically handle
some of these tasks, users may actually consider using it, though.  :)
