This is a futuristic society in which a woman comes looking for her husband, although they buried her body earlier that morning. The people believe that woman is a ghost. I thought that this was a really cool future, because not many show this “smart house” that the man lived in. That house had so many advantages, and it is a lot better than any house that people live in now. It is also weird how the house could be tampered with, and the weird power surges. That caused the house to start yelling at him, and it was very annoying. I think that this shows how technology in the future appears to be great, but really there are flaws behind it. I do think it will be possible to create “smart houses” like the one in this television show. Anything is becoming possible with the technology that we live in a nowadays so why would it be so difficult to create a house that has a narrator, and adjusts to your personal settings, well it would not be that easy, but I can see it happening. I believe we are only fifteen years away until houses will be able to get that option, and by 50 years every average house will have a narrating system.
There are some problems that pop into my head with this “smart house.” One of the problems I think of is the situation that came up in I, Robot. In I, Robot all of the robots were good at first, and eliminated man- made job’s because they did them better, but eventually all of the robots turned on the humans. Imagine if all of the houses turned on their owners, and would not allow them in the home, or was intentionally trying to danger them somehow. What if they tried to disable these smart houses, but they just wouldn’t stop? Our depictions of the future reveal that the present is insecure about technology in the future. They feel as if technology will turn on them.
