Alright, enough of the chit chat, let’s get into today’s topic.

We all have them at home, whether they be smart light bulbs, smart cameras, smart voice assistants, smart fridges, smart whatever you can think of. . . these technologies are making it into homes across the world.

They make our lives easier and it’s neat that the technology we dreamed about 50 years ago is slowly tickling into our every day lives.
