1. The house creates a to-do list when you say aloud to remember something. The house would turn up the heat automatically at 6:15 because it knows how much time it takes to warm up. It would also begin the coffeemaker and start the shower when your alarm went off.
2. The elderly would benefit from living in these types of homes as well as people suffering from memory. This is because the house would create a to do list or fill up the groceries. The oven would prevent people from eating spoiled food. Elderly people would also have greater independence because the house would help them with things while still allowing them to live on their own.
3. In Ray Bradbury's stories the houses cook for the people, they automatically warm up the beds, and remind you of birthdays, holidays, and what bills need to be paid. The houses currently being developed have audio notes where you just need to say aloud what you need to remember and the house adds it to the list. Researchers are imagining a smart house that turns the heat on automatically and turns on the coffee maker for you. Much like what Bradbury describes in his stories of the future.
4. The most useful innovation described in the article would be the floor that weighs you and creates a meal plan based on that. This would be helpful because America has an obesity problem and having something that created a better meal if you were a little heavier one day, might help the problem. This would also give people healthier meal choices and maybe they'd want to eat healthy on their own, too.
Good details! This is well done!
