The idea of a remote control home may sound like a wonderful fantasy but IT experts will need to pool all their efforts and resources to enable it to happen any time soon, claims the editor of CNET.
Andrew Lim, mobile phones editor at CNET, said that the main obstacle lies in the fact that people like to have sophisticated technology in their homes but only if it is simple to install and reasonably affordable.
Although the popularity of IT training and an increased interest in the IT sector, as people undertake IT training courses to remain at the cutting-edge of IT innovation, suggests the dream of a remote-control home may not be as far-off as Mr Lim believes.
The mobile phones editor said that labour-saving devices were popular gadgets among the UK public but was not optimistic about the timescale for all homes realising hi-tech capabilities.
"Realistically we're talking centuries before this technology's going to trickle down," he said.
Nokia recently demonstrated their Nokia Home Control Centre, which enables homeowners to control their home remotely.
