Taking the thinking out of living
Posted: 18 Jan 2014, 13:09
I am reading an article about letting your smartphone control your CH. It can detect how far you are away from home so it can switch the heating on so that your home is nice and cosy as you step through the door. It can even turn radiators off in rooms you are not using.
Driverless cars are only a year or so away. You get in, give it the postcode of where you want to be, then it will zip you there in complete safety while you read the paper or take a nap: possibly.
Then there are the new meals services. You tell them how much weight you want to lose, and over how long, and they will deliver meals to your door ready portioned and calorie counted to the nth decimal place. All you have to do is remember to walk past Greggs, miss out the chocky and biscuits aisle, and only order skiny lattes.
I was going to invent a "get you up, get you dressed, brush your teeth" gizmo, but then I saw that Wallace and Gromit had beaten me to it.
