SMART DEVICES
Human movements and activities are increasingly
replaced with a delicate purposeful flick of your finger
or with your voice

The beginning of a process:
Automatic gates
Then,
Automatic and remotecontrolled light switch,
security system, music,

Once there was a remote control…
Smartphones and Wifi freed mankind from cables:
