Touring the Home of the Future.
It all seems to happen backward; haphazardly, things get invented, take their place in the product ranges of manufacturers, get advertised, create a buzz, go on sale, reach a retail point near us and capture our imagination -- or don't.
If they do, we capitulate and buy. One day, looking back, we can't believe how we ever lived without, you know, a Bluetooth foam toaster. Before it arrived, there was a Bluetooth-foam toaster-shaped hole in our lives a mile wide! Or maybe, you know, not.
But what if it all worked the other way around? What if we started from what we do know -- the things we actually need and want, our whims and desires -- then asked inventors, designers and corporations to come up with the goods?
This week I sat down with the readers of my blog Click Opera and tried to extrapolate some weird and wonderful devices from our as-yet-unfulfilled needs and desires. I've arranged the results -- a list of dream machines, collectively conjured -- in the shape of the rooms of a house. Think of it as a sequence of mocked-up interiors in one of those "home of the future" shows.
So here we go. I'll be your guide as we pass from room to room. What I'll be pointing out are the things we want, the things we need. Here in our home of the future they already exist, and work
