Taking data from across many different silos is where the opportunity is. If I knew my mood, hunger level, and location at a given time of the day, I could figure out if my mood caused me to want to eat, or if I was unhappy at work and needed a different job. I could correlate amount of sleep with weight gain, and so on. What we need is a common language that allows all of these devices to communicate with one another.
What a load of horse pooey. Sounds like a woman. A person can do that with his/her mind. Lazy? Not to good at thinking?

Interesting concept. Life is just matter on the planet, much like a rock.

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species.
I realized that you're not actually mammals.
Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not.
You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed.
The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.
There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern.
A virus.
Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

Earth is plentiful. Some functions are viral. Not the existance as a whole. (Supposedly the destructive aspect is "futile") 53:50:

Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
