Today, we have to use switches for our lights, knobs for our appliances, and remote controls for our TVs and air conditioners. In the future, we will be using a    1     technology every day for automatic control of just about everything in our home. The future home will use integrated sensors to t    2     when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energy­efficient mode all by i    3    . You will no longer have to think about turning switches on and off yourself. Your home will also learn your d    4     routine and preferences, so everything will be r    5     for you when you get home each evening. Your lights will come on the i    6     you enter the door along with your f    7     music or TV programmes, and you will find your dinner already p    8     for you. All controls will r    9     to voice commands, so if you want to change your routine, you just say aloud w    10     you want and the home system will obey.
