Evolution of the Smart Home and AgeTech
摘要
There are a number of ways to review the history of anything. There are short histories and long histories. Some are focused on a single event, likely including some lead up, and others focus on themes that evolve over centuries. In this chapter, we are going to have some fun. We will look at the history of homes and how activities in the home have been monitored, beginning with caves and continuing through simple measurement of home utility use, and finally ending with Internet-connected homes.
