How Smart Is Your House?

How smart would you like it to be? How smart could it be? Could it be smarter than you? Should it be smarter than you? How smart does your bed have to be, before you are afraid to go to sleep at night?

A masterful introduction to some of the philosophical questions we should be asking ourselves about the continued encroachment of technology upon our lives. But which we aren’t.

And the problem with not asking the questions is that, left to their own devices, the geeks will build these things just because they can. Or because it’s “cool”.

I don’t want a house that is smart. I want a house that helps me to do what I want.

Everyone should read these slides.
