"Imagine 
  • Your Automated Cook downloads a recipe from Web 
  • Searches for the lowest price of ingredients deliverable on time and orders ingredients on a shopping site. 
  • The shopping site delivers your product via a drone (Saw the Amazon Prime Air?) and transmits a message to your Home Robot.
  • Your Home Robot picks up the delivery and passes it to your Automated Cook.
  • Automated Cook cooks food according to the recipe. 

Imagine
  • A Baby care-taker sleeping bed 
  • Responds to baby’s screams and movements and automatically feeds the baby.
  • Automatically cleanses your baby. (Babies obviously can’t go to toilet, can they?)
  • Integrated Web-cam for parents. Watch your baby on your Smartphone, swipe on your touchscreen and the Baby care-taker sleeping bed responds to the instruction.
  • Customizable with off-the-shelf Components. Your baby likes toys? Buy the toy component! 

Sounds futuristic?
Not at all!

Meet this home Robot from iRobot ...."

"We’re excited to be helping Real Madrid transform their business with Microsoft services and devices, such as how Surface Pro 3 will be used by players and coaching staff as key work tools. But above all, the digital platform we’re designing with Real Madrid is maniacally focused on putting fans at the center, and opening access and control of rich content and experiences that bring them closer to their passion for the game and the team. 
Powered by Microsoft’s cloud solutions, we will offer fans exclusive, personalized and customized content and digital services, available at Santiago Bernabéu stadium and from any location through virtual access to the stadium before, during and after each match. So fans will be able to choose not onlywhat content they want to access – but also create their own customized versions of an experience whenever, however, and from wherever. And because sport is intrinsically community oriented, we’re setting up social and other digital ways for fans to share these experiences with friends and family in real time. 
Alongside the movement of content digitization, one of the most remarkable trends I’ve seen to date is the power of data visualization to illustrate data in more meaningful ways than ever before. Harnessing Power BI for Office 365 capabilities, paired with unprecedented access to big data sets from our partners, Marc Reguera, our chief data analyst, showed how easy it will be for fans to build graphic comparisons of players, matches and other key stats – again in a way that is meaningful to each person individually."


"In May, 2013, the NFL and Microsoft struck a $400 million, five-year deal to enhance fans’ television viewing of games. The pact, expanding on a prior relationship between the league and Microsoft, includes sideline rights allowing coaches to use Surface tablets for communications, play calling and photo viewing, a series of category designations including official sideline technology sponsor of the NFL, integration between live NFL games and consumers’ fantasy football teams, data processing on player injuries, and branding on instant-replay booths."


These deals make way for applying Digital Sports technologies.
