Looking
Into
The
Future
The
best
way
to
predict
the
future
is
to
create
it.

Have
you
ever
forgotten
to
lock
the
door
of
your
house?
Or,
have
you
ever
forgotten
to
switch
off
the
TV
or
computer?
These
kinds
of
things
happen
to
us
all
the
time,
waste
resources,
and
can
sometimes
lead
to
problems.
However,
in
the
not-too-distant
future,
we
will
be
living
in
smart
homes
that
will
lock
the
door
for
us
when
we
are
away
and
remember
to
switch
off
the
TV
when
we
forget.
These
smart
homes
will
keep
us
secure,
save
us
energy,
and
provide
a
more
comfortable
environment
to
live
in.

Today,
we
have
to
use
switches
for
our
lights,
knobs
for
our
appliances,
and
remote
controls
for
our
TVs
and
air
conditioners.
In
the
future,
we
will
be
using
advanced
technology
every
day
for
automatic
control
of
just
about
everything
in
our
home.
The
future
home
will
use
integrated
sensors
to
tell
when
you
leave
home
each
morning,
and
then
go
into
an
energy-efficient
mode
all
by
itself.
You
will
no
longer
have
to
think
about
turning
switches
on
and
off
yourself.

Your
home
will
also
learn
your
daily
routine
and
preferences,
so
everything
will
be
ready
for
you
when
you
get
home
each
evening.
Your
lights
will
come
on
the
instant
you
enter
the
door
along
with
your
favourite
music
or
TV
programmes,
and
you
will
find
your
dinner
already
prepared
for
you.
All
controls
will
respond
to
voice
commands,
so
if
you
want
to
change
your
routine,
you
just
say
aloud
what
you
want
and
the
home
system
will
obey.

some
homes.
In

the
home
of
tomorrow
is
already

Nevertheless,
it
will
take
some
years
before
most
new

begin
to
