Can We Make a Home Feel Larger?

If you've ever even heard of people talking about computers, you'll know that batteries haven't gotten better, but technology has. This has allowed computers with smaller batteries than in the past to last longer while minimize the overall footprint of the device. Back in the day, you were lucky to get a laptop to go 2 hours without the battery dying on it - now you can get a computer that was 3/4 less and get 12 hours on a smaller battery.

Geofencing - A Home Automation Trend

Geofencing is a term you probably haven't heard of too often. It involves setting up invisible borders around an area (sectioning off parts) and using GPS tracking to to determine when an object or person (attached to that GPS, whether through a phone or otherwise) enters that area. When the person or object (etc.) enters that area, an app or a device can react in a variety of different ways. For example: imagine you wake up in the morning, leave the home to go to work, and j
