i-Integration and Telemedicine

I had a dream last night that I had a telemedicine app on my iPhone.
After coming across a woman in labor I opened my telemedicine app that connected me with a live doctor to help deliver the baby. I was given the prompt: "This service will cost $279. ok?, Cancel?"  I do believe I debated if $279 was too much to spend on a stranger. Obviously dreamland mechanics were at work, but an interesting idea.

Then this morning, I realized that Siri, my Philips Hue smart lightbulbs, and the Nest learning thermostat should all work together.
"Siri, turn on the lights when I get up in the morning". 
Now, notice what I'm asking here: I'm not asking for the lights to turn on automatically at 7am, I'm asking for Siri to wait to detect my presence at around 7am via the Nest (or other) motion sensor, and THEN turn on the lights. Like a real smart-house should. 

From time to time I hear someone prognosticate that this is it, we've come to the end of this fantastic age of advancement:
These people should be retired immediately from any sort of creative position. If this is the extent of your imagination, then you need to get out of the way.
