So then you have some privacy right through to Veldt networking and what
happens in Vegas can stay in Vegas.

Keep in mind though that women are psychic, and have women's intuition
and they can spot guilt on your face instantly.

Your mom is going to know what you are up to, 5 minutes after she says
to herself, what is he up to?

So I think its best, if the AI assistants are compatible with the women
in the household. That they feel comfortable using them and the best way
for the whole thing to work in a family is for mom to manage that stuff
mostly.

She will be the one to set limits on this whole thing in your house.
Your dad is often too busy, he will let you turn the statue in the foyer
from a Greek statue to a dinosaur because he wants to see the looks on
the faces of the ladies axillary when they come over to tea and see it
just inside the door. Your mom went shopping to have sopmething to wear
for that event you know.
She might look at that differently than you since she has to show her
face in public at other parties and stuff and people want to project an
image of their family as being suitable for a magazine spread like Good
Housekeeping.

What you do in your room with the fixtures that can be modified is
probably up to you. Instead a poster you can have a large hologram of
the Hulk! If that rocks your world.
Not at first though because at first we are starting with little helpful
wizards.

How helpful are they?

Everyone gets up, mom has to get breakfast for everyone and make lunches
and she also has a 3 year old. The TV works ok to sit the 3 year old
down so she is not under foot, but a talking pony that can say, do you
want to play with me? That's worth spending a couple hundred bucks at
the store for a DVD that can do that.
