There is a new feeling of home in the making nowadays, incorporating the elements of our hyper-connected life. ´What meant ´´home´´ to us for centuries hgas already started to morph into a fluid hyper-connected lifestyle filled with highly personalized services based on new technologies´. There are several aspects covered by this new lifestyle, which goes from voice-activating different devices, to outfits selected based on the daily Google calendar or drone-delivered medicine. `(...) the concept of the 5G-driven Future home is not led by technology, but by human needs and desires that technology is increasingly able to meet`´.
There is also a new kind of customer that those technologies are addresing, the so-called ´liquid´ one which is ready to switch to another device when unhappy with the services. It is a customer less inclined to use his precious time for DIY occurrences, but expects instead devices built around the concept of DIFM - Do It For Me.
The book offers good insights about what the 5G technology can offer, but also at what extent those technologies will change for good - and for ever - our concept of home. Something that a couple of years ago only was looking as a sci-fi projection is nowadays a reality for many of us. It makes our life easy and helps to save time, but it also involves various levels of security exposure and a complex array of additional technologies and devices that may require from a certain point an advanced technical knowledge.
Although the concepts addressed are not easy, the book is written in a very uncomplicated way, having in mind the various customers that the 5G technologies are addressing. The Glossary of terms makes also the reading easier as it offers possible new topics of research and further reading.
It is a good read even not too much into ´smart home but simply for people curious about mentality trends and the extent to which technologies are dramatically changing our lifestyles.
