The Internet of Family- Mamma is still the chief...

As internet connects sensors through a labyrinthine web and as my egg tray (so also my entire grocery list) is linked to Walmart or Carrefour or BigBazaar, there would be economies of scale. There is the economic order quantity (eoq) possible for my grocer who shares gains with me. My family garners scale efficiency and obtains additional revenue savings streams. Grocer’s lists are drawn up by machines. Machines fill up trolleys at the super market to each member’s needs.

My children experience a world of foggy clouds and gain easier mathematical insights through usage of analytics. They practically optimize time by preferring the data based evidence. They know to reason and research. They are quieter: search operations keep them busy. Parents do not need to know all the answers. Robotics assists in knowledge support systems. My child is weak in numerics and is ably supported by the system through throwing up problems that make it fun to learn. Learning is updated and engaged in- on a continuous basis. Learning is as per child convenience. No complaints of a strain. 

Machines help monitor children activity. Any deviation from mutually accepted norms would be accepted to be reported. Mamma is the sensor board chief. System should predict and prevent catastrophic children waywardness as wearable report friends, visits or group movements. Family privacy issues need to be sorted out, without the machines at the dinner table...

IoT thus are means for finding out what really is going on. Machines would now accurately pinpoint the root cause of children experiencing study problems. IoT would help youngsters avoid unnecessary study shutdowns owing to tedium. Machines assume counsellor roles and give advice anonymously. Most absorptive times (beneficial for child)  and intellectual outages are documented.   Time slots for peak learning are documented so that students register better.

Asset management improves dramatically. I can travel safer- sensors guard my home. Unknown characters likely to intrude in to my domain are reported to me in my car. 

Cars seek stacking of drinks to eatables to fuel and oil.  Cars detect driver moods and road side obstacles - 360 degrees. Cars speak to each other and to garage gates. Tyre replacement is announced through a process of applying analytics which feeds on number of times and the severity of applying brakes.  Sensors detect fissures in the railway tracks. Travel route timings to airport are on demand.

If one has health issues like blood pressure or diabetes gadgets advise of variations which could be detrimental to the person’s functional abilities. I am advised on corrective action. If my sleeping posture is detrimental to my spine my bed informs me on lurking fears and probable hazards.

My pill box monitor informs me of a forgotten tablet.  My wallet informs me of dwindling resources and might elect to nudge me towards an ATM. 

In kitchen, given the fed data, it could ask you to add in more salt or spice depending on the observed data of consumer preferences.

Based on predictive abilities, my machines would tell me what would make my family happier.  All I want is my family happy.
