It is 2016 and smart is the norm, but for most of us, it’s just smartphones we are accustomed to. Yet, smart things are spreading into the home, stadiums and cities. So for now, let’s start at home!
Smart Fridge
The Smart fridge offers smart cooling, adjusting as needed. If you are at the grocery store and forget what is in the fridge, simply login to the camera and view what is inside the fridge. Your fridge will alert you when a food is running low or is nearing expiration. Best of all, you can order from home! Now, when you need that gallon of ice cream, just for yourself, you won’t feel nearly as shameful!
Smart Home
Nest Cam offers the smart home addition to life. From heating and air to a home camera. The air system learns the pattern of your life, registering when, how often and what temperature you set the monitor to each day. It also adjusts to the number of people in the home. So, if you are hosting a party, you don’t have to rush back and forth finding the perfect setting, Nest does it for you!
Nest Cam provides another aspect to the smart life. You can use it as a baby monitor, pet cam or as I like to call it, a life monitor. You can record every moment with a life feed straight to your phone or laptop. So, if you are out getting coffee, check in on your house and see the dog on the couch, you can finally do something about it! With commands, you can tell your dog to get down, sit or speak! Put it anywhere in the house to create memories for life. From proposals, to your baby’s first steps, capturing a robbery or capturing your first teenage kiss.

Smart Family
JIBO. Now isn’t that a name you could get used to? JIBO is the family member without any flaws, and won’t ever fight back. JIBO learns the name of every family member and joins family conversation. Have a brother away at college? No worries, he can join family dinner with video chat through JIBO! The user from afar can press any family members face and JIBO will follow it throughout the conversation, unless your little sister jumps in, then JIBO will jump to her. It’s like being there, following the conversation and faces. Think of JIBO as a souped up Siri, only actually nice. That’s why when you go to bed, he is certain to say goodnight!
