You're planning your evening out or your next weekend break or simply checking the weather. The sun is hot and the sea breeze relaxing. All you need is some mellow streamed music to com- plete the picture. You can even take a worry-free day off and still keep in touch with any important emails you may be expecting. Or picture yourself with your children desperately trying to make a loom band bracelet but you just can't figure it out. You Tube streams a tutorial and be- fore you know it you're a pro. No more encyclopaedias, there's google, no more timetables, there's the internet. Your planning, your shopping, your holidays, and your music and everything else you need. It's hard to imagine life without your RED plan. The RED plans are made to suit your lifestyles.
