WELCOME
Issue 186
“It will be able to recognise your face in the mirror and provide an analysis of your facial features”
We’re returning home in this issue of How It Works to put all the things we take for granted in our houses under the microscope. Every second we spend in the comfort and safety of a modern house, we’re taking advantage of science and technology that has been decades or centuries – and sometimes millennia – in the making. That’s whether you’re entertaining yourself with a podcast on your tablet device, putting the kettle on for a cuppa or mopping the bathroom floor with a bucket of hot water and bleach. What could life be like in our homes 50 years from now? You can see a snapshot of advanced technologies that might be common in the home of the future, too, starting on page 26. Hope you enjoy the issue!
