Right now i think theres very limited acceptance. And acceptance of the smart technology. Hes a marketing professor at San Francisco state. He quotes industry studies which estimate as few as 10 of homes in the u. S. Are connected to some smart technology. Lighting and thermostats are the most likely connected devices. When it comes to home appliances, the professor sees some resistance. You have to demonstrate how they are superior to what you currently have. Smart refrigerators will be able to tell you while you are at the supermarket if you are short on eggs or milk. He believes privacy concerns are partly holding consumers back. Manufacturers are able to collect data about how you use their products and could potentially sell that information to third parties. For now he says, expect more incremental innovations rather than breakthroughs. Theres a lightbulb that doubles as a stereo speaker for those in smaller spaces.
