home automation

In one classic episode of "The Simpsons," Homer Simpson is talking to his aged father, Abraham Simpson. Homer states: "I love Rest Homes. You get treated like a baby, only this time you are old enough to enjoy it."

Although Home Automation will not change diapers or even feed you, it can do just about everything else imaginable. Do your plants keep dying? You can set up a Home Automation to water your plants on a set schedule. Keep forgetting to feed the goldfish before you kick off for the night? Yep, Home Automation can do that, too. And are you sick and tired of getting "doorbell ditched" at 3:00 am and not knowing who is doing it? Yep, you guessed it. Home Automation can set up video surveillance for that, too.

For all intents and purposes, Home Automation seems to be the future. Even if you can't wire your existing home with the required hardware for Home Automation, wireless options are available. And, although it's in its infancy, Home Automation has even extended to home robots and things of that ilk.
