What do I want my new device to be able to do?

It is useful to write a list of everything you want to do with the device.

It is important to think ahead. List functions that will be needed in the future, otherwise you might need to replace the devise too soon. Try to think at least 2 years into the future.

This is not an exhaustive list but it might serve as a helpful prompt.
