Exercise 3: Discuss which house in Exercise 1 you would most/least like to live in. 
Give reasons for your answers. T: Only if it can be profitable, so if you ask me, I’d be surprised. They need billions of 
dollars to even start, so it may never happen. It says here that there are
people with disposable income who want to invest in the project and use it as their 
second home, but I shouldn’t think many people would want to live on it. They want to 
make it nearly two kilometres long – nearly two kilometres long! That doesn’t sound 
possible!

Today I’m reporting from The House and Home show and I’m going to start with a 
question – where will you be living twenty years from now? Well, that’s pretty obvious. 
You’ll be living in a fully connected smart home! Smart homes and smart technology 
have now become reality, not the future. How do they benefit our lives? OK, a smart 
home can be rewired so household appliances such as fridges, light fixtures, security 
systems and thermostats can be controlled by the homeowner using a mobile device. 
One benefit is that the smart home can save energy costs – even when you’re not at 
home. With the tap of a finger on your mobile phone, you can switch off lights, close 
windows and control the heating. With the smart home you gain more hours in the day 
– when you’re running low on milk, your fridge can order more and it can be 
programmed to manage all your shopping. The fridge will even advise on recipes based 
on what you’ve got in stock. Domestic chores just got a lot easier! In the future such 
homes will be available for everybody!
