SmartThings is developing "21st-century homes" through the internet syncing of appliances as well as security systems and motion detectors. They are selling a kickstart kit in order to increase their customer and supplier bases.

Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.

This sounds like a great theory, but it might be a tad bit expensive. Do we really want our houses to malfunction and lock us out of our own system or worse let a robber in? It might be worth it to some, but not me.

The motion and moisture detectors are great ideas, and will help people keep their homes safe from intruders and flooding. Some of the other smart appliances (like the smart sprinkler or toaster) seem excessive and waste of money, though.
