For business people and others on the go, there will be MOHBs that employ artificial intelligence to organize their time - a virtual assistant (VA) that acts in conjunction with a calendar application. When a person is unable to take or make a call, or respond to an email right away, he or she will give voice commands to their VA, who then uses the owner's preferences and availability to make appointments and update the calendar. Then, at his or her convenience, the user can approve any appointments the VA has made.
One could also use the VA to program a verbal "away message" to inform callers of why he or she is not available, and ask if it is an important call. Based on the user's preferences, the VA can patch the call through based on how important the call is.
We already have personal digital assistants, and many mobile phones now have many of the same features as PDAs, but wouldn't it be nice if our digital assistants could help make decisions and keep our schedule organized when we are otherwise too busy?
