I really like the smart mirror because it allowed you to send messages and send messages. I also thought this was cool because, sometimes in the morning, I like to listen to my favorite songs. This something that I would use while brushing my teeth in the morning.

Both of them are stupidity. But is really awsome! but stupid too. This world is becoming lazy and thats a fact! its starting. Anyways i woulnt like to have a touch screen in my car, ima have to be driving and looking at the touch screen to make sure my finger is in the right place. I really wouldnt want a machine to be telling me the things that i need to do. Im the boss of myself, and i know what i need to do.

I liked both houses but being that I love technology I would rather have the house of the future. Everything seemed simple and it was all just a finger touch away. Might get a little lazy not having to move.

i like a day made of glass because it gives you a good look at what the future could possibly look like and also a huge touch screen tv like that in my room:) #ooohhh yyyeeaaaa

Okay now I would defiantly choose the second house. The first house has NOTHING on this house, everything is voice command and glass. I could really get use to living in this house. You can drag whoever your talking to on your house phone onto the counter and still talk to them, you can also sread them out and make them bigger. How cool is that?

The a day made of glass house is amazing!!!! Waking up to the curtains automatically rising for your alarm time is great. Also having the chance to have touchscreen cooking ware. But when on a video call you can just sync your phone to the cabinet and the video displays on the cabinet of surface. The 3D tv surround system is awesome also. I would love to have it NOWWWWW!!!!!

well the house seemed pretty good and very helpful, but it may be to complex, and we will be more lazy and let the tech do all the work, and the good part is that you can pay bills without wasting gas to pay it somewhere else.

The house made of glass is awesome. I like how everything is operated just by a touch of the finger and it moves with you( even to the car). When the man answered his phone and put in on the counter, I thought that was pretty cool also to see his mom on the counter top moving and talking. Something that would bother me about this house is what if everything starts to mess up and interact with everything else? It sort of makes me think about the movie Smart House// Since this house is made up of high tech gadgets that are not even out yet, I know that it will cost a lot of ying yang

I liked the smartboardat Living Tomorrow, I like how you can pay the bills, listen to music, and make a grocery list on it, it seems really helpful! I also like the fact that the Living Tomorrow house bathroom has a button to turn the hot shower on and the intelligent mirror! Anddd the tanning thing...especially for during the winter!

i like the 2nd house better has more variety of wat people will look for and it shows a range of possible things that will change in the future i really liked the touch screen fridge with the pictures nothing would ever get damaged and the touch calls and messages on the counter top was priceless...the 1st house...would it kill them to add an elevetor to the mix...

Well, having touchscreens everywhere is cool and all. BUT, all control and laziness-enabling capabilities aside, within a week of using any of that stuff every bit of it will be covered in gross finger smears. Especially the bathroom mirror, which is bound to get toothpaste and soap streaks all up and down it. And who wants to clean that up constantly? Not me. I say back to the drawing board for that type of interface.

i like the way your towel gets heated in the Living Tommorow video. And i like the fact you can control everything in your house with touch screens. And i like the mobile device in the A Day Made of Glass video. Its used almost for everything. You can talk with relatives and sync with other glass tech.

"easy living" was the description used about the houses/appliances. I like the day of glass but i didnt love it. I personally think that living should be simplistic but it should also be work. the descriptions being given are making you relax and basically forcing you to not have to do anything. I dont know. I dont really like change in the way i live so i dont think that i would want one of those houses of the future. I think we should deal with the future when it gets here.

When I saw the wall sized video conference it seemed eerily reminiscent of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. In Bradbury's world technology has taken over and people no longer interact which is the basis for both of these visions of the future. The technology displayed is great but it is leading us onto a slippery slope. Even the girl in the video said the house was making her lazy.

I can't imagine having to keep the toothpaste / hair product / etc off that mirror. Especially not living with MY husband.

I really like the stove in the A Day Made of Glass video. I do alot of cooking and just being able to turn the stove on with a touch of your hand is really cool. I also like the fridge and how you can edit the pictures on it.

I like both houses but its just a reminder of how lazy we're becoming. Being able to pay for your bills at home by just scanning your finger is the best feature. No more late payments :D.

I love the glass house because you can use any surface to do EVERYTHING! My favorite thing is the mirror in the bathroom because some people are always late getting ready because they like to sit and watch tv. With this mirror they can watch tv, check messages and the weather, all while getting ready for their day. It would be helpful to me because I often like to text and watch tv in the mornings.

I really liked the 2nd vidoe's ideas of the glass. It is everywhere and looks very useful, I liked how it was on the fridge and you can post pictures on it and how the same glass in on the counter tops and it can conect with your phone.

i loveeeeeeee the smart mirror. in the morning i dont have time to actually check the weather or watch tv or relax. i like this idea alot! the rest of the stuff on each video is really cool....but in our future i definitely think everyone will be extraaa lazy!

Lanham said...

What if we're missing the big picture? What if this stuff doesn't make us lazier, but instead makes us MORE productive? What if we have more time to get outdoors? Play with our kids? Make home-cooked meals instead of fast food crud? I think that's what it's SUPPOSED to do instead of making us lazy(er).

i think that the kitchen tells your tv what to do if you want it to thing is way over rated

The Cooking Television from Corning's video really got my attention along with the Cell phone long distance video calling. The only problem I had that I thought was stupid was the fact that ads were sent to the phone she was talking on. I hate ads enough already. I would use the Cooking Television a lot because sometimes I miss what they say on the Television in a different room while I am cooking, and it would be nice to have a chance to hear it...

i like the "a day made of glass video"..i think it would be useful to wake up and have weather reports and traffic updates already ready to look at and to have your car start up automatically as your walking towards it, wouldnt be bad either!

Anonymous said...

Techkniwlogy is great, but at some point, it becomes too much. For example, a tv/ computer on your mirror for the instance of brushing your teeth in the morning. Not Only is this a waiste of money but it would probly never be used by the vast majority. For goodness sake, is it that hard to walk to youre computer/ take out your phone? anyway, the whole glass for a day thing was pretty cool, but this particular feature is a little ambitious.

I totally love the second house. I like how you can control what you see and how you see it, like the mirror that would be so cool. The only bad thing is that things can break and it can get really nasty too. Everyone will be touching it and I just think it'd be weird.

I'd like to have the intelligent mirror in my bathroom. First of all, the weather report would allow me to know what to wear for the day. Wouldn't want to wear jeans on a day that has a high of 98! Also, it plays music, and I enjoy listening to music almost all of the time. The news wouldn't really concern me though...

I love both houses equally. But I love the concept of the glass day. I think it would be really cool for all electronics to be sync like that. I love the being able to transfer things from the handheld phone to any object. Makes it more easy to do presentations or get to work without losing anything.

Both houses seemed awesome in their own way but also a bit dumb. I don't really think it could all be possible and if it was every person living in a house like that would become very lazy. To me having one of those houses would be more of a luxury than an actual necesity.

I like that you can pay your bills with your fingerprint. It's a cool idea, but I don't think it's really necessary when you can sign up for automatic bill pay online... It's almost a step backwards. I guess most of the house is designed to be cool instead of necessary though, so it fits

The Photovoltactic Glass is just amazing... i love that you can set up the time to which it loses it tint to allow the sunlight to come through it, into the room. This would be very beneficial for a mixed schedule. Waking up at 6 during week days and at 9 during the weekends would be great and easy.

I did have a problem with the smart house because how much will it cost to repair.

the whole future of glass business looks legit. but if everything is made of glass it would take like one rock to destroy your whoole house or something. but the interactive mirror thing in the bathroom would prob be my choice. yeah the kitchen thing is cool but i feel like i wouldnt see the hot place and throw something on it or lean on it and burn whatever. The only thing with the mirror is i have a hard time multitasking while brushing my teeth but it would be nice to listen to music while i was in the shower or something. Or check facebook or something while i was getting ready in the morning.
