The home of the future

When you’re out of the house, is the fridge on the phone to the supermarket? Is the heating system having a word with the bath? And when you get back home, does the doorknob recognise you and say hello? Probably not, but in the house of the future all this - and more - is possible.

      Researchers say that technology will transform your home in ways you can only dream about. Nanotechnology will play an important role. It will clean your windows. Intelligent spoons will check how hot or cold your soup is and the walls will sense if anyone is in your garden.

      The next generation of fridges will use the Internet to make sure your food stays fresh and they’ll get in touch with the supermarket to order some more and you’ll never run out of milk again.

      When you are on the way home and feel like a warm bath, all you have to do is sending a text message to the heating system. The heating system warms the water and even runs the bath so that as soon as you walk through the front door, you can jump in and relax.

      Welcome to the smart home of the future!

30. Nanotechnology will help protect your house.                            A: T      B: F
