Technology serving residents?

Abstract

The 21st century housing space due to computer technologies and the Internet is losing its physical boundaries, enabling residents to both conduct remotely life activities without leaving home and to control the physical living space from outside. These technologies create new forms of home activities while globally connecting living spaces.

This work presents results of a case study of available “smart home” technologies which was conducted to verify how and at what cost they serve residents. Research has shown that “smart home” devices offer a number of facilities and amenities allowing not only to control and reduce housing costs, but also to provide information and entertainment. At the same time, these devices more and more often take the form of interior furnishings, inconspicuously collecting and sharing information on the living activities of the household members and interfere with the traditional division into private and public space of residence. Smart homes require smart residents, but unfortunately the fact that residents don’t manage information they share, plays down them to the roles of consumers of products and providers of data about living space usage.
