Intuitive tech gadgets simplify your world

(NC) — Our tech-driven world has transformed the way we interact with each other and the tools we use to function dayto-day. While home devices are designed to make life easier, those less comfortable with gadgets face increasing pressure to plug in.

“Luckily for us, the devices we use on a daily basis are becoming more intuitive,” said tech expert Marc Saltzman. “Smart solutions for the home are now incorporating motion-sensing, voice control and tablet and touchscreen technologies, allowing increased functionality and accessibility for users of all ages and experience levels.”

From families with children, to the elderly, or individuals with physical limitations, there are numerous ways to incorporate technology in your home.

Look for truly intuitive home technology that makes life more convenient: • Enhanced home security systems allow users to control lights, locks and temperature using mobile devices they’re already familiar with — ensuring safety, control and security for homeowners. • Hands-free faucets make washing up fun for kids and easy for the elderly. Take a look at the website deltafaucet.ca for ideas. Popular lavatory faucets called Addison and Lahara have what they call Touch2o.xt Technology. These faucets can be activated by simply tapping anywhere on the handle or spout, or by entering one’s hands into the sensing range. • Voice-control and motion-command functions mean less fiddling with buttons. Look for home video gaming systems that allow users to control media players and participate in games by speaking or making subtle movements. • Set it and forget it with gadgets that let you pre-program different functionalities. Robotic vacuum cleaners can be programmed to do the work for you, making cleaning a breeze.
