The University of Essex has built a "smart home". "Smart" in this case is defined as a juumped-up electronic nanny of a computerised home that forces you to live "green" against your will and decides for you what is comfortable.Amazingly, U of E is looking for some poor bastard to live in the thing. No doubt the purpose is to see how long it will be before he takes an axe to the computer, burns the place to the ground, throws away his shoes, evolves into a bird, and flaps away resolved never to set foot upon the ground again.

I have come the conclusion that this is satire, as the image was created 50-60 years ago
I just watched "Demon Seed" so now I'm concerned that the smart house is going to try and fornicate with a human female.
