In today’s busy word, you may feel like you’re constantly crunched for time, even if you’re not caught in a traffic jam. Fortunately, many smart technologies are emerging that help you live life at a more comfortable pace.
Smart connections.
Appliances and electronics that are considered “smart” are becoming more and more popular for their ability to adapt to our lives. “Smart” is a fairly general term, but it usually implies some sort of connectivity or networking ability that allows the device to communicate with other appliances, or to communicate with the homeowner beyond the normal button press or dial twist.
The smart TV
One of the most popular smart devices found in our homes today is the smart TV. While smart TVs can do all of the things a normal TV can do, they also have the added benefit of web connectivity. This allows video streaming, and the viewing of web content, without the need for an external box or even a cable connection.
Smartphones take some of the work out of housework
Another area where smart technology adds new functionality is the area of large home appliances. While it might not seem immediately apparent why your wet clothes or dirty dishes need an internet connection, it makes sense when you factor in how that connection is used.
Apps and appliances
App integration is one way that manufacturers are bridging the gap between busy days and convenience. So you no longer need to be in the same room, or even the same area code, to start your dishwasher, washing machine or other large appliance.
For example, by connecting your dishwasher to your smartphone, you gain the ability to interface with it from anywhere. Which means that you can wait until the whole family is done showering before you start the load of pots and pans, even if you’re already at work.
