Imagine being slowly brought out of your sleep this morning with a soft piped-in music being played on cue just a few minutes before your wake-up time. As the music grows steadily louder, the coffee machine turns on and brews a cup for breakfast and makes another one for work. It sends a message to your tablet (or phone) to buy additional filters since there is only enough for a few days more. The microwave also starts up to heat the remaining food from last night and starts the calorie intake monitor in your smart wristband and the weighing scale positioned at a strategic place in your bedroom.

As you walk out of your house after breakfast, your phone reminds you of your appointments and urges you to walk faster to catch the bus in order to avoid the predicted traffic that will happen in an hour’s time. Your house shuts down unnecessary machines to conserve energy and patiently monitors your doors and windows for intruders. It also performs an inventory of supplies by querying your refrigerator, your rice box and other storage areas and sends a summary of things needed to buy on the way home. It even notifies you of the ongoing sale at the corner store.
