The hit television cartoon series “The Jetsons” held great appeal to most viewers not only for George Jetson’s witty remarks, Jane Jetson’s placating voice and that adorable dog Astro but also because of the seemingly inconceivable technology in their house. Watching the cartoon, most people marveled at the smart technology that made life for the Jetson’s easy and flamboyant. However, most of what seemed almost fantastic back then has today become a reality.

New and emerging technologies are making homes today smarter, more intuitive and more convenient for those living in them. One of the smart technologies that are helping homeowners to live more ‘futuristic’ lives is the voice command technology. With this technology you can completely turn your home into a voice command smart home. These commands may control the lights, entertainment units, and so on.

Another interesting ‘Jetson technology’ is the automation of most of the functions of the home. These include instances where the lights come on automatically as the sun sets; the fridge sends an email to you notifying you that you are running low on milk, and so on. Finally, there is the every fantastic Rosie, the Jetson’s robotic helper. Today, there may be no robots wheeling around with a sharp tongue, but Artificial Intelligence has smart homes conversing with their owners. The Jetsons may have been just a cartoon but it surely provided some interesting insights into the possibilities that technology offers.
