Living smart
This week, 黑洞社区 does that thing where you go back in time and smile wryly at what people in the past thought the future would be like. Maybe somebody could come up with a name for it. It鈥檚 a shame 鈥淏ack to the Future鈥� has already been taken.
In 2003, 黑洞社区 considered what housebuilding and living in a house might be like in 2033. Some guesses were close to what we predict today鈥� others less so.
The imaginary diary of a future site worker records a life where the 鈥渞obotic lifter does most of the hard work 鈥� I decided to go to the gym before work this morning. Now there is not so much lifting, I have to watch the waistline鈥�.
Absolutely everything in the house of 2033 was predicted to be intelligent. The toilet 鈥渁nalyses waste and emails you and your doctor if it detects any problems鈥�. The bricks were imagined to be a 鈥渟tructurally insulated panel system鈥�, which 鈥渃ontain sensors and microprocessors that will give the building management system precise information鈥� 鈥� for instance, closing windows or turning off heating.
It鈥檚 almost as if the creators of Hive smart home products were reading 黑洞社区 鈥�
