We go on a road-trip, so I load up some tablets with movies for the kids to watch.
-
My kids are in the back seat during the road-trip, and they're playing a game together, each on their tablets.
-
The car, a rental, streams music from my phone. The kids join in with their favorite tracks.
-
As I take pictures with my camera, I can review, delete, edit them immediately on my tablet.
-
I tap my phone to a reader in the hotel room, and we get Internet access on all our devices.
-
In the hotel bar, my wife and I can monitor the kids sleeping, with a secure video stream from the hotel room.
-
After the trip I share the photos with my cousin, sending them from my phone to his tablet.
-
In the office, on Monday, I make an interactive presentation where everyone in the room can participate.
-
That evening at the game, we follow the shared photo feed and vote on the game pictures we like best.
-
My photos are automatically copied to my laptop, and via the hard cable connection to my cloud storage.
