PLN 22

 I found and article called"I need answers: What will the home of the future look like?" by Vicki Davis who talks about she will be able to go to a meeting where they will discuss the fundamental question of 

     What will the future house REALLY look like in 10 years?

I think this is a very interesting question because of the new and always changing of our technology. I have seen us go from tapes to Cd's and now to ipods! We have cell phones that are MUCH smaller and skinnier than before with new things being added to it. We can text, listen to music, watch videos,use as walkie-talkies, it even acts as a mini computer. Oh, I almost forgot, it's also a phone! All of this awesome technology stuffed into a tiny little piece of metal and wiring. Technology now even helps us with daily house chores like washing dishes and clothes and cooking dinner. I mean, who could live without the microwave. Oh, don't let me forget about TVs. Now bigger, much bigger and skinnier and can hang on your wall. Now you can even record TV shows with a push of a button and watch them over and over again. It's amazing at what we can do now, and to think we could do more. We could have robots doing all our work at home and assisting us with our more dangerous jobs! The group that plans to do this say that they will try to build this home to not only focus on the new technology, but also to try to focus on having the house be energy efficient which would help a lot for our earth, because if we keep treating the earth worse and worse, it may not last as long. Hopefully if all this new technology keeps pilling in, there is a way to recycle all of the old stuff which also could help the earth stay clean. 
So the thought I will leave with now is, what do you think the future house will look like in ten years?
