LIVING

3. Smart home ?

A smart home, but what for? The idea of fitting our home with sensors and screens is not new. Currently, these interconnected devices are mostly at work in offices, providing optimised energy consumption, security systems and more comfortable environments. However, their future in the home is not so easy to predict.
Will we remotely control our ovens or air conditioning systems from smartphones? Will we opt to manufacture and build our furniture ourselves? Will we choose recycled and entirely recyclable items? Will we use social networks to share domestic appliances and modes of transport?
