Anything more than air, water, shelter, food, and companionship is trivial.
I want to live like I'm in Star Trek. The good Trek, not the new stuff.
So when I wake up to pee in the middle of the night because I'm an old man my bathroom light turns on, dimmed to its lowest level, upon detecting my presence in the bathroom. I do my business and stumble back to bed and the light turns itself off.
When I leave home my front door locks, and when I pull into the driveway it unlocks. Also if the sun has set, the driveway, front porch, and foyer lights turn on.
When I say "hey Siri, it's movie time" my projector turns on, the lights dim, and if music is playing elsewhere it stops.
One day I was on the road for work and a package was unexpectedly delivered. I texted my neighbor to put it in my garage and opened my garage door from 2,700 miles away. When they replied that it was safe from the rain, I closed it.
Triviality. Beautiful, glorious, triviality.
I love it.
- ajkjk 1y agoagree with this completely. the goal (and maybe this is what Apple can do) is make this possible for everyone, not just clever motivated people. I think it takes more leadership than the industry has mustered. (And maybe their successors can also make it cheap...)
- marssaxman 1y agoThanks for sharing that perspective; that's exactly what I was curious about.
