What features will your smart home have?
Maven thinks: I've always thought that an excellent to manage the use of electricity is to add motion detectors to rooms to determine if the lights should be on or off. I know that Microsoft has been working on systems where not only do the lights turn on to your desired levels, the room may also start playing your favorite music and show your favorite artists paintings on a digital canvas.

What features will your smart home have?
ztyler thinks: I wish I could access my home from anywhere simply by going to a personalized 'home page'. It could integrate lighting, security systems, and even allow me to turn the lights on and off while I'm away. An interesting feature might be to also show me power consumption over the span of a month. I think that would allow more people, especially business travellers, to leave their home with the peice of mind that they can still keep watch over it.

What features will your smart home have?
Simpler thinks: I do want technology in my home. Just make sure you meet my criteria:

- Invisible. Or at least as small as possible. Remove all wires and boxes and let it disappear.

- Self configuring. Have already spent too many valuable hours attaching DVD recorders to TVs, PC to TV etc.

- Easy to use. My wife must be able to use it without me having to play the role our our home's "technology operator."

- Providing real value. I don't need all kinds of crazy gadgets that just waste my time and create a mess.

- Low power consumption. Power prices are going up and the lifetime cost of one device versus the other can be substantial. Hey, think about CO2 emissions.


Big brother is watching
jasnmb thinks: Ben Franklin once said "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

In the end, once freedom and privacy are exchanged for security, there is no turning back and we are truly faced with the world of Orwell in 1984.


Universal Healthcare
afzilla thinks: The idea that those who are poor shouldn't be entitled to healthcare is simply insane. It just leads to a cycle of deprivation. You are ill ergo you cant work ergo you cant get treatment ergo you cant work etc

Universal Healthcare
pantv thinks: Every human being should have the right to proper healthcare, regardless of how much money they have, what color their skin is or in which god they believe. Somebody stating the opposite would probably be suffering from some antisocial psychological problem.....and is in desperate need of mental healthcare him- or herself.
