(Making Things Smarter)

It used to tell
you the time

Now it tells
you what to do
It used to just
provide power

It used to remind
you of someone
close to your heart

Now it reminds
you to take care
of your heart

Now it talks to your

machines and tells how
you much they are
consuming

They used to help you

see clearly

Now they help

you to see more
