Smart House Technology
Smart houses will use computer technology to control the home, to save energy, and to improve people's health. In a smart house, electronic sensors will be in the floors, walls, ceilings and windows. These sensors will send information to a central computer. The central computer will then help control the house. It will also monitor the people in the house and give advice. For example, when a person is over his or her ideal weight, the sensor will "feel'' this. This computer will send a message to a cell phone or watch. The message will read, "You should have a light lunch today maybe a salad." Smart houses will influence every part of people's daily lives.
