1. At least one non-transitory storage medium having instructions stored thereon for causing a system, including at least one processor, to: determine, via an operating system (OS) and in response to user input received via a graphical user interface (GUI), a calendar event attribute for a calendar event; receive an alert communicated from cloud-based storage via at least one antenna; determine an alert attribute for the alert that occurs during the calendar event; receive a communication from at least one sensor included in the system, the at least one sensor including at least one of a light sensor, a spatial orientation system, and a motion sensor; determine an additional alert attribute in response to receiving the communication from the at least one sensor; in response to determining the calendar event attribute and the alert attribute and the additional alert attribute, determine whether the alert satisfies an alert threshold; and in response to determining (a)(i) the alert satisfies the alert threshold, communicate the alert to a user via a first communication channel, an input/output (I/O) node, and a communication bus; and (a)(ii) the alert does not satisfy the alert threshold, communicate the alert to the user via a second communication channel, at least one of the I/O node and an additional I/O node, and at least one of the communication bus and an additional communication bus; wherein (a) the first and second communication channels are both electronic communication channels, including at least one of a visual display, an audio speaker, and a vibratory module, that are coupled to the at least one processor, and (b) the calendar event attribute and the alert attribute are both stored in the at least one non-transitory storage medium; wherein the calendar event attribute comprises a meeting, including the user and another person other than the user, designated at a first priority level and not at a second priority level, the first priority level being higher than the second priority level in a hierarchy of levels.
