We’ve all imagined the lives shown in science-fiction movies and books. The developments in these works of fiction are not yet within our grasp. It could take a while for us to get there, and it really depends on what technology you want. If you’re looking for a robotic hand or similar, it could be a while before we get there. As they say, the ideas of today are tomorrow’s world, so there is no such thing as an impossible task. If we set near-term goals, it may be possible to live a life that is technology-driven.
Imagine, for instance, the green initiatives of the future and the smart home technologies that Tesla has developed. Or how clothing can now generate solar energy. Combine all of these technologies in a system, and you’ll get futuristic technologies. Imagine waking up at home in 2030.
You’re at work; it’s 7:00 a.m. Your alarm clock goes off, and you try to nap to prolong your sleep by a few minutes. But wait! The alarm clock is out of your reach, and it continues to buzz. You have to get up and stretch to reach it. But the alarm clock is buzzing away frantically. You have to stand up and shut the thing down.
Nobody likes to do that. You can tell Siri or Google to make your bed. You can fold the blanket more neatly by using a machine than you could ever do manually. The lights will automatically turn on when you enter the bathroom. You can now join the shower and begin shaving the stubble from the night before. Unfortunately, there is no automatic grooming yet. You can choose whether you want the water to be warm, cold, or hot because your shower is intelligent. You can also use your favorite shower gel by simply sprinkling it on the faucet. No more fiddling with bottles or caps. You are ready to go into the office after a relaxing bath. Oh, but first, have breakfast. The microwave is clever; it starts cooking as soon as you get out of the tub. It’s not the same thing your mom makes, but it’s still healthy.
The air conditioning in your car, which is parked in the garage, has been turned on. The gates are locked behind you, and all lights are turned off. Your car’s headlights blink, and it opens the garage door. You’re probably overdoing this. The vehicle will exit the driveway while you are checking your work schedule and mail. Oh, it’s on autopilot, so take your hands off the steering wheel. When you pass a gas station, you see some older vehicles lining up for the carbon-heavy fuel, but you laugh to yourself because you’re electric.
No more bulky phones; your smartwatch will “ring.” You’re a mom (or she is) wants you to visit her and take some time away from your “electronic world.” Siri will schedule your holiday for you if you say that’s what you intend to do. Siri, ever considerate, cancels your appointments and sends an email to HR. When you reach the office, the dream is over. Nothing’s free.
You might think that everything is great, but you may be wondering how to pay your electricity bill. Well, online, most probably. We may have forgotten to mention your rooftop in this story. The sun will pay your electricity bill in the future. Solar technology is the most advanced of all the technologies mentioned above.
Rooftop solar systems are saving millions of households money and helping to reverse climate change. In India, thousands of rooftop solar installations are located in both rural and urban areas. Smart grids are allowing homeowners to save more money on their electricity bills by transferring credits from solar units.
This means that you can start building the smart home of dreams right away by investing in a solar system. As you correctly pointed out, the most important part of your smart home is the power needed to run all of your gadgets and electronic devices.
