Led by Curtis

How this one works

How to play
  1. Now we will design a modern home worthy of the 22nd century future. So we're going to go on a tour of a modern home and we're going to point out all the features of that home that are as good or better than an air hockey table as a dining table.
  2. we're each going to vote for something that is not our own
Context and recorded outcome
  1. It's going to sound great. So we walk in to the house and let's start in the living room. Let's do that. That's kind of a main place we're going to walk into. What? I'd like to go first. Great. Mine is a real answer that I want everyone to adopt because I need the technology to be slightly cheaper. I want when you go from an apartment to a house, you end up having like a lot more windows. You want the natural light, but you don't want to open the blinds every day. I want more automatic blinds. I wish every single blind in my house was automatic. I could like open it either by voice command or on a schedule. Like I want the windows to open with the sun. I like the idea of having them automatic. I do not trust voice command. I find that voice command products never work for me. It doesn't help that I talk bad. Well, you don't really have a human voice, which is the problem. They think that a robot's talking to them and they know to ignore that. Right. But here's what I'm thinking. What if you have hand signals?

  • So that's, that just becomes, now that you can climb up there, just fun hang space.
  • Well, obviously you can adjust the temperature.
