Most of us spend all day at school or work. After a long and busy day, all we want to do is to return to a comfortable home. Smart technology can turn any home into a nicer place to live in.
Smart homes have been around for some time. A company called Pico Electronics invented a type of technology called X10 in 1975. As the curliest smart home technology, it allows household devices (家用设备),such as lights and alarms, to communicate with each other by using radio waves.
Of course, 5G network connectivity has made smart homes much more complicated (复杂的) than X10. Perhaps the most popular smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant. Users are allowed to communicate with almost any device in their homes simply by speaking a few words. This is especially convenient for children and people with disabilities, as the devices can help them finish tasks that would normally be too difficult.
Common household devices can become "smart as well. For example, smart fridges can create dinner recipes with the vegetables that are being kept inside.
But smart homes are not just about convenience. They are also good for the environment. By regularly checking your energy use and automatically (自动地) turning off lights and other devices that you' re using, smart homes can lower much electricity you use. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources (自然资源),which is good for the environment.
