  1. He said the clapper doesn’t have no apps LOL of course it doesnt have apps , we didn’t even know what a app was…we didn’t know what the Internet was lol

  2. Story Time.

    This is an illustration of how fast technology has moved. In 2014 I was a home integration specialist. Essentially salesperson that sold smart home and home theaters to wealthy people in Rancho Santa Fe, Cali.

    We used the Savant System. We also sold a box and subscription service…this should blow your mind…so our clients could screen current movies in their home theaters….and they signed a contract where they couldn't turn it into a small theater. Strictly home use.

    One deal…145k . Home Theater with 4k projection. Lutron Lights, sec cam, temp controlled rack room. Outdoor speakers.

    My commision? Average yearly income for Americans.

    You can order all of this from Amazon now. Your lighting will be better…and your cams will be better.

    The only thing that has yet to come is a cool feature of the Savant system. Imagjne a picture of your living room. Imagine lights on end tables. You could be at work and touch the iPad (what we used for remotes) on the pic of the lights and turn them on…same with TV and HVAC and sound system.

    But all the money for features that the average person can afford now…12k was charged for our programmer to program the system. Anyway….7 years later and all that money was waisted…..except for the family's proscenium….we had a master carpenter and interor designer..that shit was beautiful.

  3. my dad was one of the original developers of X -10, my entire house was motion or voice activated, i never hit a light switch until i was 5 years old

  4. The segway at the very end from the current video to the wearable tech video, just by gesture, suggestive language strategically followed by the YouTube pop up by Marques, is the well thought out content execution I'm here for ??.

    Enjoying your content from South Africa ??.
