Discussion
In what way is the home of tomorrow already the home of today
What might be some of the disadvantages of smart homes
One disadvantage is that if there is a problem with the system, you may find yourself locked out of the house, or unable to turn your TV off or on. Security is another big concern, as strangers may be able to hack into the system to collect information about your life and use that for evil purposes. It will be difficult to operate the system for older people.
