Apple's goal, it seems, is to make all the digital tasks you do possible on all the devices Apple makes. This is a vision Apple calls Continuity. Continuity is a new feature that comes with iOS 8 on the iPhone/ iPad, and OS X Yosemite with the Mac. You're able to start a task on one device, switch to another device, and pick up that task where you left off. For example, start typing an email on your iPhone and easily switch to a Mac with one click, then finish the drafted email on a standard keyboard and mouse.

But this notion can be carried into all sorts of other environments. What about CarPlay in the car? What about Apple TV in the living room? What about HomeKit? How can Continuity play into those platforms?
