What better hub of tech hype and hazards than the Smart Home?! For our Season 1 Finale, we take you on a tour exploring gadgets galore in this flash round of four devices. Are Smart Home devices just "assisted living for millennials," or real innovations toward improving quality of life and longevity?
Come in, and stay a while, as we go room to room, navigating novelty and searching for utility ...
- Bathroom: is Willo, the toothbrushing robot the answer to democratized oral hygiene, or just a marketing ploy towards helicopter parents?
- Kitchen: is Meater, the smart cooking thermometer really worth 10x its analogue predecessor, or is it an investment in perfectly cooked culinary confidence?
- Bedroom: is EightSleep, the connected mattress pad a dream come true for peak performance, or is the 'sleep fitness movement' a cover for sleeping on a data hungry wearable?
- Living Room: is Mirror, Lululemon's smart mirror an embodiment of the physical and economic shift towards in-home fitness, or a reflection of much broader disruptions to come in home healthcare?
Ratings Time: At the end of each room, we rate this each technology on our highly scientific scale to help innovators put this into context. Tune in to hear our reviews, and tell us what you think!
- Trash: Garbage abound in tech-land, so buyer beware of rubbish in disguise!
- Flash: A flash in the pan! Hot now, but fleeting once it exhausts early adopter segments
- Cash: Money-maker with scalable potential, but ultimately nothing innovative here
- Splash: Fundamentally innovative, and full of transformative potential to fix a real problem
