Do a Hundred Push-ups

When you ask your smart speaker to do 100 push-ups, you think of a skill that’s going to be useful to you. Maybe it’s a skill to help you achieve this target throughout the day. A regular timer could come on and tell you when to get on all fours, and you could even set it so that enough time has passed after meals. You could even request a certain tune to get you motivated or reward yourself with a great tune after you’ve completed your set. When you’re struggling, it could give you motivational phrases such as, ‘Come on, you’ve got this” or “You can break through this wall!”. At the end of your set it should reward or commiserate you accordingly and keep track of how many reps you’ve got to go to reach your goal. But of course, the smart speaker doesn’t do any of this. It just counts to a hundred in a fast sped-up voice.
