You don't get what the point of them is? There is a reason why in every scifi movie everything is automated or voice activated. Because it's convenient. People will get used to it and in 20 years people will wonder why there ever was such a thing as power on buttons. Prices aren't an issue here as soon it will become standard anyway. |
You're assuming that the voice reconition software will have a 100% flawless understanding of what the person is saying. Under all cases. Like far way from a mic. Or if music/TV/shower is playing over them. How about during a fire/flood. One bad starting location. The system is disabled. You now have no access to functions. So while someone is trying to call 911. It's not working. Instead of grabing their cell phone. How does it handle multiple users. You have a family of 4. 3 People are talking at the same time. You attempt to order a command. Can the system do that without fail? "Hey, Siri" fucks up a fair bit. So i had to disable it. Burglars would have an easier time breaking into a house. My Internet wires are exposed on a telephone pole behind my apartment. Someone could just cut it. Your house is top of the line. But not the area past those walls.
Second: why isn't this software located in the home. Then just updated by the user. Why does it need to be connected to the internet. There's no space/hardware limit like a Smart Phone. If you had a generator, you could still power the system, if it was selfcontained. I'm not againts smart houses. But it needs to be apart of the home. And not rely on the internet. The internet makes a lot of things better and possible. But not everything needs internet access.
