Smart Vacuum?

August 22nd, 2017



So many people of all ages have Smart Phones.  Have you considered if you have a Smart House?  High technology now lets you access your lights, garage door, air conditioner, even see who is at the door, all without being home!  What about the smart vacuum?  Some of these gadgets can map out the floor plan of your house! According to Texas Realtor magazine, “iRobot smart vacuums announced plans to someday sell mapping data to a big technology company like Apple or Amazon.  The company’s CEO says a vacuum’s abilities to to collect spatial information can help other smart-home devises perform better.  For example if the devise that controls the lighting knows where the lamps are in a house, it may have an easier time illuminating the right rooms at the right time.”  Makes me wonder who else has the floor plan of my house with that information distribution.  Does it matter?  Am I paranoid?  I would like to have a clean floor without doing it myself!!
