The “home of the future”

When purchasing a home, what’s the first thing you look for?

For some, it’s now a “Zoom room” where they can work (and sometimes play) quitely.

The Sun has our “wish list” for the home of the future…the things we’d like to have…and they include:

  • Windows that tint automatically so you don’t have to use shades or curtains
  • A smart heating system that adjusts rooms automatically
  • Soundproof walls
  • Lights that adjust automatically depending on the time of day
  • Door locks that use your fingerprint
  • A garage that charges your electric car just by parking on a giant pad
  • Ovens that allow different shelves to be different temperatures at the same time
  • A fridge that automatically orders things when you’re running out
  • Shower heads with built-in Bluetooth that lets you make phone calls

What would be in your “dream home”?
