Bob lived in a small town.
He was a tech-savvy person and loved to live in a smart home. He had installed a wifi thermostat in his home to make his life easier. Everything was going well until one day, the wifi thermostat stopped working. Bob tried everything he could think of to get it working again, but nothing seemed to work. He tried resetting the device, restarting his router, and even tried calling the local service provider, but all in vain. He was getting frustrated and was about to give up when he remembered his neighbor who was a tech wizard. He decided to go to his neighbor and ask for help. When he reached his neighbor’s house, he explained the problem with the wifi thermostat. His neighbor listened patiently and then told him, “Bob, have you tried talking to it?” Bob was taken aback by the suggestion and thought his neighbor was joking, but his neighbor was serious. Bob decided to give it a try, and to his surprise, it worked. The wifi thermostat started working, and the temperature was adjusted to the desired level. Bob was amazed and asked his neighbor, “How did you know that would work?” His neighbor replied with a smile, “Bob, you never know, sometimes devices just need to hear a friendly voice.” From that day, Bob always talked to his wifi thermostat whenever it was acting up, and it never failed to respond. He became a legend in the town for his ability to make the wifi thermostat work just by talking to it.
