It’s 2016 and we have so far encountered virtual reality, camera doorbells, and refrigerators with touch pads. Looking ahead, there is still much to come, such as smart windows, more advanced cleaning bots, and more Bluetooth involved in the home. As of today, only the wealthiest people have these types of technologies in their home, but further into the future more and more Americans will have these devices.

These new forms of house hold appliances can be easier to use than older ones, and can be connected with Bluetooth or your smart phone to save a setting you prefer. They also do a better job than their processors, and can usually be set to any mode and personalized for your liking. There is nothing better than having the latest technology in your home to match your life style.
