There Will Come Soft Rains By Ray Bradbury
“Ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast,eight eggs sunnyside up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk.” This is the potential of technology if advanced correctly. In the science fiction short story, “There Will Come Soft Rains”, by Ray Bradbury, There is a house with many technological advancements such as a self running kitchen and robot mice who clean. I believe that technology will help us more than it will hurt us, as time goes on.
First of all, there are many medical advancements being made. For example, they now have 3-D and 4-D printing for different parts of the body. 3-D printing is used for body parts such as ears, livers and even skin. According to weforum.com, “A 4-D …show more content…
First of all, there are automatic appliances. In the section, “The Intelligent House,” of the article, “Inside the Home of the Future,” the University of Texas-Arlington’s computer scientists are building a home with accessories that are anything but ordinary. For example, “ At 7 a.m., when your alarm sounds, it signals the bedroom light and kitchen coffee maker to turn on. When you step into the bathroom, the morning news pops up on a video screen, and the shower turns on automatically.” There is also a health monitoring system within the house. For instance a mattress that could flag health problems early. This would involve an inexpensive strip that would go under your mattress pad and monitor your heart. As stated by Dr. Felder, “‘ By measuring your breathing and pulse all night long, we can test for sleep apnea,’ usually something that can be done only in a sleep laboratory, he says. ‘ The measurements aren’t as good, but they can indicate problems and lead to an earlier trip to the doctor.’” To add on to all of this helpful technology, there are wathcing walls being developed. This could potentially help families keep an eye on the elders in their family without being there. Instead of using cameras and microphones this system uses a system of sensors to locate someones location in the house. These examples are just a few of many new technologies being developed for the
