The sample scenario described above bases on the technology trends and predictions of Section
3 concerning advances in hardware and software, and especially in communication technology.
Of course not all information technology advances were taken into account when constructing
the future day. Indeed it is not easy to predict the user’s behavior at home. Decisions about
future applications within the intelligent home will depend on the users themselves and of course
on the ability of the company’s marketing experts in respect with service content, user interface
(appearance and usability), technology (quality, speed, presentation, brilliance) and last but not
least the costs.
