Unscramble the Blue Letters
Now you might say, wait a minute, there are companies that are doing this today. I can do this today. But it’s idiauidnvl companies, and it's certainly not ubiquitous across the city. But it doesn't just stop with toastirtronpan. Let's take health. In the fturue, there will be air-quality monitors at every street corner, and they will be connected with your asthma inhaler so that you know when it's safe to go out. Or there will be infrared cameras that are measuring the temperature of citizens aoluoysmnny and that will be connected with your tetmmeoherr so that we can detect future outbreaks. And of course, you will also have your wearable device that connected to your bathroom scale and your smart refrigerator so that nutritionists, doctors and other ciamneops can come up with new ways to keep you, you know, slim and and trim as I am. Then of course, there's shopping. I mean, when you shop today, you know, you purchase from different rrleateis and you receive multiple shipments during the course of the day. Now, if you had an app where you could set your peceerenrfs and those shipments can be csoateoldnid and maybe you receive fewer shipments during the week, a little bit less convenient, but you get to rceude your carbon footprint.

Now you might say, wait a minute, there are companies that are doing this today. I can do this today. But it’s individual companies, and it's certainly not ubiquitous across the city. But it doesn't just stop with transportation. Let's take health. In the future, there will be air-quality monitors at every street corner, and they will be connected with your asthma inhaler so that you know when it's safe to go out. Or there will be infrared cameras that are measuring the temperature of citizens anonymously and that will be connected with your thermometer so that we can detect future outbreaks. And of course, you will also have your wearable device that connected to your bathroom scale and your smart refrigerator so that nutritionists, doctors and other companies can come up with new ways to keep you, you know, slim and and trim as I am. Then of course, there's shopping. I mean, when you shop today, you know, you purchase from different retailers and you receive multiple shipments during the course of the day. Now, if you had an app where you could set your preferences and those shipments can be consolidated and maybe you receive fewer shipments during the week, a little bit less convenient, but you get to reduce your carbon footprint.
