介绍:
The Internet of things is turning people’s homes into automated living spaces that promise extra convenience. Let’s get to know what makes a home “smart”.
One day, everything will be buttonless. Nobody will need to use the remote control to turn on the television or hit a switch to turn off the lights. These devices will just do what they are supposed to all by themselves. They won’t be set off by claps, voice commands or hand gestures in the air. They will gain a certain level of independence that will reduce the need for human interaction.
For example, a Norwegian company is using smart technology to make life easier for its elderly customers. It has designed a system that allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet that is mounted on a wall inside their homes.
The device, which also sends patients spoken reminders about tasks, such as when they need to take medicine, is even connected to a series of sensors which tell carers if there is any unusual activity in the homes that could be potentially life-threatening. This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing.
Smart technology is here, and it’s only getting smarter.
