It is said that smart home can make your home more dreamy, but are you really ready?

I wanted to buy something for my home, but found that the products on the market have already been labeled as so-called smart.

Door locks can now use fingerprint recognition like the iPhone, TVs can change channels using voice, and you can even play a game of "Honor of Kings" on the big screen of your refrigerator using the Android system.

So, when the beautiful smart home concept of the future quickly becomes a reality, what changes will it bring to our existing living habits? In other words, are people really ready to accept these new technologies?

You no longer need to look for your keys before going out, but you start to worry about whether there are "other people" in the house.

The first thing I do when I get home every day is to open the door.

The birth of smart door locks has gradually replaced traditional mechanical door locks. The original way of opening the door by taking out the key has changed to today's more convenient magnetic card, radio frequency card, or new door locks using biometric technology. When you arrive at the door, you only need to touch or glance at it, and the door can be opened.

The moment you walk into the house, if there is a security human body sensor, when it is armed, it will immediately trigger a phone alarm when it detects someone moving. When it is unarmed, it will automatically turn on the preset lights when it senses someone. When it detects no one, it will automatically turn off the lights.

Although the security system can detect and notify the owner in advance of stranger intrusion, gas leaks, fires, etc., when you view the situation inside the home through the camera, the manufacturer who provides the equipment and network connection cannot, in theory, ignore the content captured by the camera.

In particular, privacy leaks caused by home cameras have become common recently. Similarly, is it possible for criminals to maliciously create another "key" to enter the home through door locks that record biometric information? It sounds chilling.

All home appliances can be put into working state in advance, but mother still worries about the electricity bill

A good sleep is the basis for us to maintain abundant energy the next day. By adjusting the control system of our home to sleep mode through the APP on our mobile phone, the power of home appliances will be automatically cut off, the smart curtains will automatically lower and the lights will be automatically turned off.

At the same time, when you get up at night, you don’t need to turn on the light in the dark. The smart infrared detector will detect your movements and automatically turn on the light to avoid bumping into things in a dark room.

More and more home appliances that can work uninterruptedly throughout the day are making our lives more in line with our inner thoughts, including air conditioners, televisions, air purifiers, etc.

Before going home, you can use a smart air conditioner to pre-adjust the temperature in your home, so you can enjoy coolness or warmth as soon as you get home. Or the TV screen can display the content you want at any time, all you need to do is walk up to it, instead of rummaging through drawers looking for the remote control.

However, the basis for realizing these ideals is to keep most electrical appliances powered on. Unfortunately, according to the usage habits of the Chinese people, the power of the air conditioner is turned off when it is turned off, and the TV switch is unplugged after watching TV. This has obviously become a usage habit that is difficult to change.

Even if you are willing to make changes, it seems that you can't avoid your mother always asking questions about the electricity bill.

Are machines getting smarter, or are people getting lazier?

It reminds me of a scene from the Pixar animated film "Wall-E". While two robots are running around performing a great love story, humans are left with obese bodies, indispensable junk food, and a lifestyle that does not require any exercise because of the existence of intelligent machines.

I have to say that perhaps the humans portrayed in this cartoon are the first thing we need to think about when facing smart homes.

It is like the intelligent integrated kitchen system that will be popular in the future. Every day you only need to choose the dishes you want to eat and put all the ingredients in. The rest is to wait and taste.

After finishing your meal, you can put the dishes in the fully automatic dishwasher and no longer have to argue about who will wash the dishes. However, besides sitting in the office, commuting home, and eating at home, what other exercise have you done throughout the day?

Looking back at the science fiction movie "The Matrix" today, many people sincerely admire the fact that the American director was able to think of the idea that VR devices could "cheat" humans and make the whole society live in a "fake" environment more than ten years ago.

However, the popularization of smart homes seems to be a hidden danger to the future development of human society, as it also brings more unsafe, unreliable and unhealthy factors.
