If humans came equipped with a power bar status on their foreheads life could be simpler.
One look at your own power level and you would see you were only at 11% and you could grant yourself a little grace. Taking the time to recharge a little more before tackling the day could make all the difference in the world. Noting someone else's power level would help manage expectations.
Just think ... what if you were only allowed into work if you were 80% charged or more. Breaks were automatically assigned when your power dipped below 60%. If you were consistently running below a certain level, holidays were mandatory.
Recharging stations may need to be varied depending on the circumstance. Coffee would be a short term solution. A balanced meal or healthy snack would be a longer lasting charge. Sleep and rest would replenish the charge slowly and surely. Televisions would turn off automatically once a sufficient level of recharging was reached. We could actually see how much scrolling social media sites deplete us.
That said, a bar indicator showing how many bars of reception we have could be helpful when trying to communicate. You could read whether or not the other party was receptive to your means of communicating. One could adjust and tweek as necessary. If one party shut down, it would be as clear as the bars on their forehead.
I must be careful what I wish for. Artificial intelligence is a concept I only understand from old cartoons but what I am dreaming of is not something I want to see come true.
In the meantime, I find myself checking on the status of my charging phone before I expect too much of myself.
