Have you
ever heard about smart homes? Haven't you? Well, Imagine a house in which anything you want and you need can be found, and even more important, that
can be perform by itself, YES! It can be done by your house. Since technology
has improved our way our life making it easier and helpful. Engineers and building
enterprises have been using all this advances to create amazing buildings which
are able to deal with the decisions and the requirements of the staff on it.
TV and
films have developed the idea of and smart home in which if you want a light
on, just clap your hands or say “lights”; you move on to the kitchen and say “juice”
or “water” and immediately a glass with you order into it is delivered; a house
with a so high and sophisticated security system that allows to make its own
decisions, trough algorithms based on your profile. These kinds
of dwellings are no longer part of a film, and no longer owned just by billionaires;
executives, lawyers and most of the upper-medium-class can buy this new trendy
houses now at days; in addition, for the medium-class can buy and install into
their houses some devices and features based on this dwellings.
But, how
would you feel living in a house with its own conscience?
Imagine
being raised in a smart home, surrounded by devices that perform the things for
you, what about electricity goes off, or a virus corrupt the system; put you into an environment like your grandpas had. Can you realize how much are we
being dependent on technology? Do you like this? What about someday your smart home
denies you as its resident, or instead of protects you, it tries to kill you. Food for thoughts, don’t you agree?

Felipe, I really liked your post.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, those houses are spectacular and dreamlike. Their only problems may be the ones that you have mentioned (power failure, errors in the operative system, etc) but, don`t you think that this smart houses should have not only those marvelous features, but also some kind of app which could block their "smartness" and let them be just a common house in any threatened situation?
