If you as a hacker would build a house, what kind of home automation system would you choose? Would you go for a wireless (WLAN/radio/bluetooth ...) solution, the KNX bus system, extensive ethernet cabling, some new system that's in some start-up's pipeline, or a home brewn system? In other words: what's your bet on the future of the industry; which technology is most promising, both from a hardware and software point of view?
Fiber Optics and USB[X.0] ran everywhere.<p>Projectors would be more commonplace.<p>Better home security would be way more affordable. Facial recognition, retina scanning, finger prints etc.<p>Just a few guesses from the top of the head.
