The Smart Home Revolution
The start of the computer revolution was back in the 1950s
where big and bulky mainframe computers took up a whole room
and had to be programmed with a punch card. They were used
to automate Accounts and Payrolls.
Then by the 1980s to
2000 the second revolution
started when we
began to have desktop computers
in the office, and then
came the home PC.
The third revolution
was the mobile one which
reduced them in size to be
able to fit in our pockets, so
we could take them anywhere
and use them on the go.
Now the next shift has
started and in our homes,
smart assistants like Google
Home or Amazon Echo
are steadily colonising
our personal spaces, along
with home automation for
smart lighting and security
systems.
There were over 640 million
of these units sold last
year and the market will be
doing twice that by 2023.
By that time we can
expect something like a 50
percent growth in sales of
wearable devices like smart
clothing and fitness trackers
– a huge market that Apple
is looking to – where it will
be approaching 300 mil-lion
units a year.
As for the workplace AI
is starting to take hold where
it is transforming factories
and production lines. Sometimes
referred to as the fourth
revolution or industry 4, this
sector is forecast to double to
over 150 billion by 2023 and
over a trillion dollars by the
early 2030s.
Tech companies will
increasingly seek to improve
our lives with this explosion
of smart devices that will be
crunching the sensor data
from all this hard-ware, as
well as all the activities that
we do on our smart phones.
There are also plenty of startups
staking out their territory
in this new frontier.
When it comes to your
home it is important to know
what you want and when
you “don’t know what you
don’t know” the best thing is
to talk to a company that is
experienced in security systems
before you build and
not settle for a one size fits
all approach that some builders
and electricians install as
a part of a package.
Your Security System is
a personal thing and needs
to be researched correctly to
make sure you know what
you want and how you are
going to use it - because
it’s no good having one
installed if it’s too hard to
use, that would just be a
waste of money.
Smartway Security and
Technology have been
installing CCTV for over 19
years and Monitored Security
Alarms for longer than that.
Why don’t you give them a
call and let them help you to
understand how you can protect
what is important to you.
Remember “Experience
the Difference because the
Difference is Experience.
