Smart Homes: Built to Crash
On episode 2 of Season 5 of The Quartz Obsession Podcast, making one’s home “smart” may appear to be a logical step for modern dwellings, but with virtual assistants triggered by voice prompts, refrigerators that sense when your food is running low, and vacuum cleaners that zip around your home crashing into walls, we have substituted the home of the past for something altogether different. But is the smart home actually smart? And, if it’s not there yet, what could do the trick?
Join host Scott Nover and Quartz reporter Julia Malleck as they delve into the promises and pitfalls of automating our homes.
