(At the school gate)
Mrs. Wei: You're late, honey. Don't you know what time it is?
Cody: Sorry, Mom. Ela couldn't remember where she saved her file, so I stayed to help her.
Mrs. Wei: Did you guys have computer class?
Cody: No. It was Chinese. Today, our teacher didn't use the blackboard or chalk during class; we learned through videos and VR. We even had a quiz online.
Mrs. Wei: Sounds like you really enjoyed it.
(At the door of their house)
Mrs. Wei: Cody, do you know why the screen is showing "ERROR"? I'm sure I pushed the right buttons, 5-2-5-7.
Cody: That's because you're still using the old code. Today is the first day of November, so you should enter the new code, 6757.
Mrs. Wei: Oh yeah, I remember now.
(Inside the house)
Mrs. Wei: I know what to do next. OK Google, turn on the lights in the living room.
(Mrs. Wei waits for the lights to turn on.)
Mrs. Wei: I'm not sure if it heard me. Nothing's happening.
Cody: We changed the wake word last night, Mom. It's not Google anymore.
Mrs. Wei: Oh, right, but I forgot what it is.
Cody: No worries. OK Noodle, turn on the lights and play a song for Mom.
Mrs. Wei: It's the song "You're the One"! How did Noodle know whether I'd like it or not?
Cody: It has a list of your favorite songs, so it knows what to play.
Mrs. Wei: I love our smart house!
(在學校大門)
魏太太:你遲到了,親愛的。你不知道現在幾點了嗎?
寇弟:抱歉,媽。艾拉不記得她把她的檔案存在哪裡,所以我留下來幫她。
魏太太:你們在上電腦課嗎?
寇弟:不。是中文課。我們老師今天課程中沒有用黑板和粉筆;我們透過影片和虛擬實境學習。我們甚至有線上小考。
魏太太:聽起來你很喜歡呢。
(在他們的家門前)
魏太太:寇弟,你知道為什麼螢幕顯示「錯誤」嗎?我確定我按對按鈕啊,5、2、5、7。
寇弟:那是因為妳仍然用舊的密碼。今天是十一月的第一天,所以妳應該輸入新密碼,6757。
魏太太:喔對,我現在想起來了。
(在屋子裡)
魏太太:我知道接下來該怎麼做。好的,Google,打開客廳的燈。
(魏太太等著燈打開。)
魏太太:我不確定它是否有聽到我的指令。什麼事也沒發生。
寇弟:媽,我們昨晚換了喚醒詞。不再是 Google 了。
魏太太:喔,對,但我忘了是什麼。
寇弟:別擔心。好的,麵條,打開燈,並幫媽媽播放一首歌。
魏太太:是「你就是那個人」那首歌!麵條怎麼知道我會不會喜歡這首歌?
寇弟:它有一個妳喜愛的歌曲清單,所以它知道要播放什麼。
魏太太:我愛我們的智慧家庭!
