i think that the world made of glass was really cool and the best part is the mirrors and stuff could show you the news and play your music and stuff and none of it was controlled by robots! thats the even better part!

i think the first house is kind of stupid since it pretty much does everything for you, that will make people ever lazier than what they already are.

I like the fact that everything is a touch screen. Even the counter tops, fridge, and mirror have screens on them.

I like the Day mdae of Glass idea, I think it could work in the future. You can control everything with you finger tips which is pretty cool!

i like the day made of glass video, where you can set your phone on the counter and it will show on the counter. a down side to this is that everyone can see you conversation.

I really like the Day Made of Glass. The feature that I loked the most was how you could plce your phone on a surface and you can enlarge and let people see what you are seeing.

i like a day made of glass. my favorite part was the windows in the bedroom. you can make it dark in your room to sleep or even bright. so if it was sunny you could turn them to dark and go to sleep.

I picked the World Made of Glass. I think it's pretty neat and I would use it with meetings and things like that such as in the video. It's a little stoooopid because i wouldn't want everyone being able to see what I'm doing of ever second of my life! :)

I like the idea of the glass windows in the bedroom. That is perfect for the mornings when I'm sleeping in and it's sunny outside, I could just make the windows darker and go right back to sleep.

I think the world made of glass was very cool and unique! I feel like its something that would be easier for me to use than the other video. I like how you can red a book and ect on whatlooks like a sheet of plastics... Its pretty cool

I like the fact that most of the objects in the house are touch screen. It makes things so much cooler, and you dont have to worry about losing any of your remotes or anything because everything is all in one place!!! But I feel like it is kinda stupid because you would just get lazier and lazier the more you use it.

The first house is nice, but it's going to make the world lazy. We are all gonna look like this eventually " http://images.google.com/imgres?q=fat+guy+ridinn&hl=en&safe=active&biw=1600&bih=695&tbm=isch&tbnid=ShAF_uMZ1HB5hM:&imgrefurl=http://sometimesnerdalwaysgeek.wordpress.com/&docid=rf6ma7NrzCl11M&imgurl=http://sometimesnerdalwaysgeek.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/fat-guy-on-a-scooter.jpeg&w=430&h=450&ei=kY9dUfHNGsO92gX6voDgDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=935&vpy=321&dur=468&hovh=230&hovw=219&tx=152&ty=111&page=1&tbnh=147&tbnw=146&start=0&ndsp=25&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0,i:128 " if every house was like that.

I think that the house made out of glass is amazing! If only I could afford it! I like how everything is touch screen and basically personalized to yourself.

I like the accessibility in which the touch screens afford us in both the house and the day made of glass. However I think that some things would make our existence a much more mundane one.

i chose the "Living Tomorrow: house of the future" video to give my opinion about, the house is absolutely amazing, everything is simple and advanced, its a bit of a stretch though because one would easily get lazy and lose insperation living in this habitat

I chose number 2, The World Made of Glass. I love pretty much everything of it. The phones are cool, the windows, the mirrors, I can go on and on, it's just so cool. One concern I have though, "glass".

I love the blinds that automatically open or close with the tap of a button. Another feature I found to be cool was the mirrors that could show you the news and play music.Now as I said earlier once they come up with something that can take out the trash for me I'll be on board.

I think that the appliance veneer glass is cool but at the same time it is a stupid idea. Who would spend alot of money just to put pictures on the door of the refrigerator? Thats a waste of money when you can get some sticky tack or magnets to put the pictures up with!

i like the Day mdae of Glass idea the best thing about to me is that you can see your conversation on the mirror.You can see it through the mirror while your getting ready in the bathroom.

I think the world made of galss is very Cool. because you can control everything just by a touch and its better than having to pick it up and move around when you can just touch it and it does it on its on.and also how you could place your phone on a surface and you can enlarge and let people see what you are seeing. and its very awesome how you can be in the restroom brushing your teeth and on the mirror you can text at the same time and see how the wheather is goinh to be.

All the stuff in those videos was super cool! Like for reals a towel dryer?! I didnt even know that was a thing! What I would give for a nice toasty towel after a shower! That being said there was one thing that I thought was just utterly rediculous. Its just my opinion but I get super annoyed by any type of fake tanning. So the tanning bed wall thingy made me want to puch society in the neck. But other than that everything seems pretty amazing!

I really like the photovoltaic glass in the house. the reason i like it is because it would allow you to regulate the brightness of your room. That way if you want to sleep really late you don't have to worry about the sun bothering you.

I think the best feature shown on these videos is the compatablity with each other from one interphase to the other, allowing for easy access "plug-in-play". I find the first link's house veru unsatisfying as it fits the stereotype of what we believed our future would end up.

I like how everything is glass. One thing that I think is stupid is the fact that it would make the house fire friendly becuase of all the electronics. I say that because the electronics could malfunction at any moment and that would not be swag yolo.

THe worlde made of glass i think would not work because it will have stains, diseases, and scratches. Also people would probably be even more lazy. But i would use glass to do something like put it on some glass lenses to make them indistrutible or something.

the house made entirely out of glass is really cool.. you can regulate the amount of brightness that comes in and other stuff.. also that glass phone look nice and you can basically lay it on the table and the things that is displayin they get larger i like that..

I love how theres a towel warmer you know because sometimes its cold and you just really need a warm towel. Then when its hot u dont need it but it looks fancy and you can still use it to hold your towel like that its seriously amazing. I am speechless.

I think the mirror in a world made of glass is an awesome idea. There is so many things you can do with it and at the same time be getting ready for the day. You could watch the news and find what the weather is going to be like to help decdide what to wear for that day.

i would like to have the intelligent mirror because i like to know what the weather is going to be like before i walk outside in the morning

I would pick the corning house to live in because everything in that house touch, I would use about everything in that house to make life easier. One thing that is stupid is that if you brake something it would prob. not work until you replace it.

On the "Living Tomorrow: house of the future" video I really liked the kitchen features such as the grocery list maker and the fact that you could learn more about your food or drink by simply dragging the picture of it and it'll pop up an informative video. I also really liked that you could start you shower from your bed so by the time you get to it, it's already nice and warm!

I really think the glass house is the coolest house ive ever seen! Everything made out of glass, from kitchen counters to transparent phones to flexible documents that can even transfer things from the slightest touch! that is pretty legit

Well first off, I think the touch screen houses are pretty cool, although everything has to break sometime, so how much money and electricity are all of those features using up? If i did have the glass house thingy though, i would prob get outta shape from all the stuff i tell my house to hook me up with.

The second video was my favorite, the first video was alright but some of the features were clunky looking. My favorite part is when the woman started walking to her car and it was ready for her.

I really liked the second video a lot because it seemed more innovative and new. Everything touch screen would be pretty awesome, but then I start to think about how that would be for little kids because they loveee to get their grimy little hands on everything.. hmm..

I like the Day Made of Glass video. It seems like in the very near futurewe could be living in houses like that. To have everything at the control of your fingertips even more is pretty cool.

I think the world made of glass was sooooooo cool! I really enjoyed the gps system. It was a community "direction giver" and after you found the directions, you could upload them to your phone by just touching your phone to the glass. That would be really convient considering i have a horrible sense od direction. I still get lost just inside NHS.

The person in the video clicked on the wine icon to see a video about it ( Minute 2:00). I think that was cool. I would use this feature really well, I would search the item first before I purchsed it!

I'm not sure which house it was but its all controlled by a certain device for the entire house, although it's pretty cool (making us even more lazy) it seemed like it would all go horribly wrong if something happened to the power source, since it does control everthing.

I thought the LCD Televison Glass in the second video was pretty cool, its like having a really big iPhone or a Windows Phone on your wall.I also think that all this glass stuff is somewhat dumb because, all the touching on different surfaces might spread viruses or something.

I Believe that the dumbest feature included in the living tomorrow: house of the future was the UV tanning lights on the wall. I would use it if I lived in antarctica or something where there isnt any sunlight, but other than that i would be worried about overexposure producing skin cancer or an uneven tan.

Okay so I really like the tanning bed idea! A white girl like me, NEEDS those kinds of technology!!
But, then again I can see how people would abuse that and put their 5 year old daughters in front of it all day long for a pageant. Ya know? So, I have mixed thoughts.

I like how everything is connected and can all be controlled by a tablet. For example all the lights and electronics in the house are all connected to a tablet which allows the user full access to these things from a distance. I don't like to get up and turn off the lights at night.

I thought the world made out of glass looked so cool! But, I would think that it would be hard to use and that it could be dangerous having a majority of our world made out of glass. If one thing goes wrong we could lose something and I feel that we would become even more lazy or technology obsessed, children will be so consumed by technology to even go outside...but I guess our world is almost like that now anyways. But, I think that it is a really cool concept and I would love to have our world made of glass and have everything be touch screen.
