They even had to meet in person for work, and walk their own dogs.
Anyway, this is the pop in of discussion people might be having in 10 years.
Well jump ahead in time and take a speculative look at smart homes in 2033.
Welcome to the future.
The Future of Smart Homes
Technology has a habit of evolving and improving.
Ten years ago, smart homes were not as advanced as they are today.
Ten years from now, smart homes might include the following.
AI Integration
Artificial Intelligence is the attempt of technology to think like human beings.
AI is already prevalent among smart homes.
AI will play an important role during the next ten years.
AI will help your smart home do more tasks that humans used to do.
Improved Technology
Technical limitations, glitches, and lags are common in 2023.
We’ll see excellent connectivity, functionality, reliability, speed, and power in future smart homes.
Internet outages will be nonexistent, Alexa will never ask you to repeat yourself.
Better Security
Scammers have likely never convinced you to give them your bank account username and password.
Security will improve in 10 years thanks to AI.
Our security systems will recognize us like we can recognize our friends and loved onesby sight and sound.
Or they will recognize us after a quick scan of our DNA signature.
We will no longer need to memorize passwords.
The scammers may even give up.
More smart homes will have spaces dedicated to remote work, collaboration, and entertainment.
Large-screen TV resolution will be hard to distinguish from reality.
You will shut windows, turn off water, and increase the fridge temperature remotely.
Say you’ve left for the day and one of your cooktop knobs is turned on and leaking gas.
Not to worryyour AI assistant will turn the knob off for you.
Here are some more futuristic smart home equipment possibilities.
Warning: this section includes some seriously far-fetched speculation.
Imagine someone tries to sneak into your home at night.
These flying watchdogs will zoom over to the intruder to get a better look.
The police will be notified as quickly as you are that someone is trying to sneak into your home.
Better Smart Home Lighting
We’ll never need to worry about turning lights on or off.
Lights will turn on as we move around a dark house.
When you’ve left a room, the light will turn back off.
It will be kind of like carrying around a flashlight, but much better.
Robot Assistants
Robot vacuums are already available,even though they may not yet work extremely well.
Better robots will be widespread in 2033.
Speaking of drones, they will perform the most mundane tasks for us.
Climate control systems will thermally sense temperature in specific locations throughout the house.
Smart HVAC systems will cool and heat rooms individually.
Robots will fix problems before you know they exist.
By that time, a damaged wall will heal itself much like a cut on your skin will heal.
But that may be getting a bit too far down the far-fetched path.
Robot assistants will bring tremendous help in caring for our loved ones, especially for example, the elderly.
Mind-Controlled Devices
In 10 years, we will no longer need for smartphones or even voice commands.
Turning on a light or locking a door will be a thought away.
They’ll know who to let in and who not to let in.
Some Devices Will Disappear
Some devices will be eliminated altogether.
What Will the Future Bring?
Smart homes will allow us to have much more time on our hands.
Will we use that extra time well?
Will we leave the smart home occasionally, and get out into the world?
And AI technology may know everything about us from our favorite colors to our daily cholesterol intake.
This will present some heavy privacy concerns.
Or lecture us about energy waste every time we turn the temperature to a comfortable level?
Hopefully not, unless we want it to.
Here’s to hoping we’ll be smart enough to use smart technology in smart ways.
Only the future will tell.
