smart enough to only power my fridge
and freezer during the time I’m away
at work whilst redistributing the excess
power from my home (and other
households with similar energy needs)
to offices and industries who need
it from 9am - 5pm. And then supply
power to every appliance in households
from 5pm to 8am whilst restricting
power supply to light bulbs, inverters
and security gadgets at my office at
the same time (and every other office
with similar energy needs). This will go
a long way in assisting small businesses
such as barbing and hair dressing
salons etc. that need to power their
service appliances to attend to their
customers till 9-10pm. This will aid the
equitable utilization and redistribution
of the limited power supply to grow
businesses whilst providing adequate
power supply for households up until when we are able to resolve our power
generation and supply challenges as a
country.

The possibilities of cognitive solutions
as a whole is limitless. Imagine a digital
world where right after you buy a bag
of rice, tomato paste and curry, you
receive an e-recipe of how to make
Jollof rice! A world where every entity
in the future is smart and systems think
