Smart Mobs: A family of four,living just outside Barcelona
Ok, I have been reading about this for years, and watching it on TV & movies for even longer. At least with text messaging it makes more sense. I'll believe it when I can go and see a working model in person and can buy equipment off the shelf.
However if we are going to make our houses "smart," why not hook them in with some limited computer control? Instead of having to text in and turn the lights on and off at random times, why can't a computer do that for us? How about various levels of notification - maybe an email if something is minor (the garage door was not closed in the morning) to going through a call list with one of those "press 1 to stop calls" type things if water is spewing from the kitchen faucet? Buried water detectors to control the sprinkler system? All these things are really doable, but currently they are technolgies that are not really tied together or VERY expensive.
