Think about the devices you have in your home—a refrigerator or a television, for instance, or possibly a personal computer. How would your life be different if you didn't have these? Innovations in technology give rise to new products and services for our homes and affect the way each of us lives. In many cases, these devices are developed as a response to society's changing needs. But they also reflect and even shape the values held by a society, such as a wish for more convenience or durability, or for something smaller, safer, and easier to use.

 

This is your chance to imagine what the future holds and develop a technology that will make this world a better place.
