The most useful tech for me would be the morning wake up alerts. Currently I’m limited to alarms which are too aggressive and I don’t want to be woken up by music (as I may not recognize that as a queue to wake up). Having a device gradually set notices and starting the morning with the news (or even having the option to pick how I want to be woken up) would be very useful. The Phillips Hue lights set up as a blinking timer would also be useful for me. I’m realizing a need for time management efficiency here in both my picks. Lol
