Smart Homes Coming?
In ten or twelve years, perhaps, “smart” homes with computers built into the walls will become affordable. Such computers will respond to voice commands, offer a random-access data base, provide instant simulation via artificial reality, and free us to effectively use information, not be abused by it.
For now, we're stuck in the mire of the over-information era, subject to the daily overglut. The best hope to hold off the din is to recognize all its disguises. If we cannot apply, reflect upon, or effectively store information, more than ever, we need to guard against being deluded with
excess data.
