How can technology be used to simplify the control of homes of the future?
I have 2 answers here:
1.Technology developed by engineers, particularly computer engineers, can be used to control certain aspects of a house that might our lives easier. For example, I read about a Ph.D. Research Project, where a student wired his house to his computer, and he could do around the house, only to do things with the click of a button (turn devices on and off, open doors, etc.). This type of technology could simplify our lives, or just make us lazy I guess! It would be nice if right!
I personally think it would be nice if people could monitor their homes while they were away, with cameras inside and outside. It would also be nice if people could open windows or turn up the heat or air conditioning in their way home from work. There are so many possibilities! Best wishes!
2.Nowadays people want to simplify things, easy to use and the “press of a button.
This could be referred to as “automatic”. And Automation is a hot topic of research in this period.
Controlling home security system such as doors windows, etc., so that a applicane disable / automatically as if the time is 8.00 clock room heating is turned on and it switches to clock 11.00. And that could be ur use of mobile phone.Suppose you leave your home in a hurry and then do not forget, whether you are in the electric oven or not, it can be in ur with GPRS mobile phone or the Internet or even SMS.
There is a hell lotta things we can do with technology, but basically software part is what we need to play a greater role.
