A Popular Mechanics article recently compiled a list of technology predictions for the next 110 years. One of the forecasts sounded oddly familiar:
"Smart homes will itemize electric, water, and gas bills by fixture and appliance. Shwetak Patel, a 30-year-old MacArthur Fellow, is working on low-cost sensors that monitor electrical variations in power lines to detect each appliance's signature."
Good to hear people are getting excited about energy disaggregation, although personally I hope it doesn't take the full 110 years to become widely available.
