With the emergence of robotics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, materials sciences, net-centric systems and alternative energies the average lifestyle of the middle class will change substantially in the next coming two decades. These technologies will shape the way we live and affect everything from our automobiles to our homes.

Perhaps you might have seen Discovery Channel shows and presentations on “The Home of the Future” fully equipped with artificially intelligent android robots to do your dishes, your laundry, mow the lawn, cook your dinner and wash your car. But have you considered a net centric garage interfacing with your house and your car as well? Perhaps you might, as that will be not too far off in the future. In fact it is a logical next step. You are in the kitchen getting ready for work and your car is getting ready too, as it checks the route for traffic problems, construction, re-routing alternatives.

Indeed your garage may warm your garage slightly and start your car as soon as you open the door from your house to your garage. It may then communicate with your car to adjust the seat while it prepares to open the garage door too. When you return your car will communicate with your net-centric garage and your home to get everything ready as you drive up.

All this can be done thru many existing technologies and entrepreneurs are already getting ready to meet the demand of the future desires of consumers with such integrated living and personal transportation systems. I hope you will enjoy this topic and the thinking it provokes. Perhaps this article is of interest to propel thought in 2007?
