In recent years there have been many predictions about what our houses
will be like in the future. Some experts think we will all live in boxes; others
think we may actually live on the moon or another planet! Two things are
clear. We will use power from the sun, wind or sea and computers will
control everything in our lives and especially in our homes.
Every house will have devices to change energy from natural sources into
power, and well build houses that can use this power efficiently.
Computers will open and close doors to allow people to come in and out
and they will make sure the house and the people in it are safe. They will
switch on the lights when we go into different rooms or switch on gadgets
when we ask them to. They will know when the fridge is empty and order
food automatically. They will even tell us who has visited the house while
we were out and at what times!
Rooms will be smaller than today but furniture like beds, tables and chairs
will come out of the floors and walls when we want to use them. Again, the
computer will do this for us.
Some experts predict that computers will control the entire world in the
future, so perhaps they might decide to shut us in our little boxes forever!
