I guarantee nobody has more technology integrated into their house and into life than me. Technology guides every area of my life - from the moment I wake to the moment I rest.

However, if you step into my house or office, you won’t actually “see” all that much tech. In fact, you will probably “see” much less tech than the average person. There are no visible cables, loose chargers, and extra screen everywhere. Why? The best technology is invisible. Technology should be there in the background, standing by to help when you need it.

Between my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and HomePods in every room - Siri is always there. I don’t need to know where the nearest Siri is. Anywhere I am, some device somewhere will hear my request and respond. Wanna control the TV? Play some music in the bedroom? Set a timer? Make a phone call? Send a message? Add to a grocery list? Turn the air filter on? Set the lights? Preheat the car? Adjust the temperature? Just ask Siri.

The less visible technology is, the more work has to go into setup and planning. The more visible technology is, the less intention has gone into its integration.

My Apple Watch gently taps me on the wrist, turns all the bedroom lights to 100%, and turns the air filter off.

I get into my car, and it automatically routes to the specific gym I am going to based on the day of the week.

Tapping my Apple Watch to the treadmill pairs to two together, starts tracking an indoor run workout, changes my home screen apps to only fitness ones, and presents me with music to play. Once my run is done, my workout plan has been created by an app, and my AirPods guide me through the schedule for the day.

The lights turn on automatically at home either based on my location being at home, or a motion sensor being activated. After my shower I ask Siri to play music everywhere (meaning on all the HomePods in every room, at the same time).

Everyday, over and over.
