5 Tech Gadgets That Will Change Your life |
Posted: May 2, 2018 |
Technology is rapidly evolving to the point that we are drastically changing our lives based on new technology for areas in our home that have been kind of "dumb" for years now. Here's a peek at some of the latest and greatest tech products that are new on the market and will change the way we interact with our homes in the future that is now.
1. Wireless LED BulbsIf you have ever watched a sci-fi movie where the lights in a room come on when a character enters it, it seems so futuristic. It is as if the lighting in the future becomes an afterthought based on your presence. Sign me up! You can have exactly that feeling with any of the numerous brands of wireless LED smart bulbs that are available on the market. They are a bit more expensive than traditional bulbs, but they last longer and with the added benefit of giving you the ability to control their color, brightness, activity based on time of day or physical presence and so much more. 2. Smart FaucetDid you know that one of the most common ways we pass germs through living with others is touching communal surfaces like faucet knobs and door handles? That is why some commercial bathrooms have implemented smart faucets that detect your presence and turn on when needed. Some of these smart faucets even feature a digital display that allows you to set precise temperature controls on the water that comes out. Temperature controls are handy to anyone raising a baby or a cook who uses the water bath technique for some dishes. 3. Smart RefrigeratorsOne of the most significant ways we waste energy in a modern household is through the refrigerator in our houses. Every time the fridge is opened, it has to work harder to re-regulate the temperature inside to keep your groceries from spoiling. If you have ever had a gallon of milk spoil before the expiration date, chances are your fridge is being opened a ton. Smart refrigerators are aiming to solve that problem by combining some exciting new technology that you wouldn't expect to find inside your dull fridge. LG's latest model features a 29-inch touchscreen that can go transparent when the fridge receives two knocks. It also has Alexa integration to help you stay on top of the food inside your fridge and know when things are running low or could be going bad soon. Perhaps the best feature is the ability to check inside your fridge with the panoramic camera, so you can determine whether or not you need that new gallon of milk. 4. Solar-Powered Media PlayerSelf-sustaining electronics are becoming more fashionable now that solar panels are becoming cheaper to produce. Case in point is the Sony Eclipse, which is a media player that features a photovoltaic cell on the back to receive all the power it needs from the sun. The media player is designed to stick to a window with the help of a suction cup, and it will blast your tunes regardless of whether or not you have power. You do not have to worry about a charger either since it comes up every morning reliably. 5. Smart SpeakersSmart speakers like Amazon's Alexa and Google Home are changing the way we interact with thousands of devices in our homes. Digital AI assistants are rapidly morphing the home technology landscape into something that resembles a sci-fi movie or the Jetsons. These smart speakers can tell you the weather, keep your reminders and appointments straight, and they even feature integrations with other devices like your home appliances to alert you when you are low on milk or your load of towels in the dryer is done. Some of them even integrate with some of the best home security systems to help you keep tabs on your place when you are away. ConclusionIntegrating even one of these devices into your life will drastically change the way you interact with your home. When your lights come on in your presence and a weather report chimes at 8am without you asking, you'll feel like you're living in a sci-fi wonderland.
