Using Services...

Why are we using a service here when the service isn't doing anything but logging to console?

Seems to me that we're placing these functions directly into the controller (which is a good thing because scope isn't available down there in the service)

Much like the service is used to get the todos from the website, it will also be used for saving and removing them from there as will. This requires having a backend in place to handle that which this course doesn't. The subsequent MEAN App course has you write one for this app and link it with through the service.
