The Future of Smart Systems, by Janna Anderson, Lee Rainie. June 29, 2012
“By 2020, experts think tech-enhanced homes, appliances, and utilities will spread, but many of the analysts believe we still wont likely be living in the long-envisioned Homes of the Future. Hundreds of tech analysts foresee a future with smart devices and environments that make peoples lives more efficient. But they also note that current evidence about the uptake of smart systems is that the costs and necessary infrastructure changes to make it all work are daunting. And they add that people find comfort in the familiar, simple, dumb systems to which they are accustomed. Some 1,021 Internet experts, researchers, observers, and critics were asked about the home of the future in an online, opt-in survey. The result was a fairly even split between those who agreed that energy- and money-saving smart systems will be significantly closer to reality in peoples homes by 2020 and those who said such homes will still remain a marketing mirage.”
