I wake up to my wearable device informing me of my current biometrics. It alerts me to my current physiological needs and makes recommendations as to how address them. My home, knowing I'm awake, adjusts the bedroom lights and temperature to suit what is required for this morning. My coffee pot will be starting up now too so that it will be all ready by the time I get to the kitchen. I leave the bedroom and head towards the kitchen; lights turn off when I exit rooms and turn on when I enter. My daily schedule is said to me as I walk through the house, reminding me of birthdays for the day and any upcoming appointments; it is also sent to my phone, wearable, car, and office computer. After eating, I turn on the factory (the employees will be arriving shortly), get dressed, brush my teeth, and head to the car.

The car welcomes me when I get in and asks where I would like to go. I tell it I'm going to work and it calculates the best route given current traffic conditions. It pulls out of the garage and begins to drive while I have my coffee and go over my notes for my meeting on the heads up display. The video-conference call comes in through the car just as we're pulling out of the neighbourhood and I put on my VR goggles and we begin our discussions around a virtual round table. The meeting ends just as I pull into the parking lot - good timing.

My wearable notifies me that the coffee has made me slightly dehydrated so I have a drone deliver me water as I stand in front of the factory overview screen. From here, I can see at what capacity everything is working, including my employees. The service reports are available, along with communication logs between the machines and employees. I can also track the movement of everything, people included, in the building. I get a ping to remind me of my doctor's appointment, so I head to my office and log in to the waiting room. Within minutes my doctor, a specialist from another country, appears as a hologram and we begin. I start by reviewing my biometric readings which the doctor received immediately after starting the appointment. All appears to be well and I'm making good progress in my recovery from the surgery that was remotely performed my doctor and three associates.

I do a walk around before lunch to make sure I put in some personal time with the employees. My partner messages to see if I would like to meet for lunch in fifteen minutes. I head back to my office, put on my virtual gear and we meet at our favourite restaurant. As usual, our child comes up and we decide to check up on them; as expected they're right where they should be - in the middle seat of the table on the right facing the front of the classroom. We check on their device and see that the class is using AR to learn about the body systems. By their biometrics output, we can tell that they are excited and engaged with the lesson. Our conversation moves on and before I know it, I get another ping reminding me that break is over. Back to the grindstone...
