Hal in our homes!

We've all seen 2001 Space Odyssey where Hal was a deranged robot who had a soul! Fewer of us might remember the movie Demon Seed, (1977)  where a similar robot, in this case named Alfred, takes over a house computer control system trapping Dr. Alex Harris' estranged wife, Susan lusting over her!

Well our friends at Samsung are promoting high-tech designed houses with voice activation, energy awareness, pass-codes to open or close the doors.

Will it make our lives easier,safer and more efficient? Maybe.. but I'm not sure I want to live with something constantly making sure that I'm content, comfortable, or checking if I ran out of milk!



The debate is open! Let the open threadness begin!!!
