        I think that technology is both hurtful and helpful. In There Will Come Soft Rains, the house cannot tell if the people are there or not. Although it is equipped with great technology, it’s still not smart enough to sense whether or not something has happened to the family. Inside the Home of the Future highlights the good aspects of a technology-driven home. It adapts to each person and their routines. It seems as though it would be a great place for elderly people to live because it can assist them with their daily lives. In Disneyland they have this display on the home of the future. While it’s not voice activated, it has little control screens in each of the rooms. The kitchen has a TV for recipes and the cabinets fold down from the ceiling. I’d prefer to live in this house because while it is fairly hands free, you still have to get up and change the settings. If everything is hands-free, people will become lazy. If you aren't disabled, you should still find it in yourself to get off the couch and do something.
