Smart buildings

They are referring to NEW buildings, like Bank of America's new 900ft tower on 42nd st

MY building will be stupid 5 years from now, or 500 years from now!

Electric vehicles. Virus detection. Smart buildings and plumbing. Auto-detection of crime hot spots. None of what you said follows. Total non-sequitor.

This is nuts, read between the lines. We will be told where to live, how to live, what to eat and you will be fit into the pattern or you will be arrested because the computer says you don't fit!

@scarmenl Fewer movies, more reality.

@SamSpade2010 If you can't get your head out of the sand and see the reality in what I said that would be your problem. I'm not going to try to show every one that come along with a comment how all the dots connect.

I'm predicting... more layoffs will occur with the implementation of such amazing technology. Perhaps sooner or later, humans are no longer needed for any jobs.

[juukyuu7666]

does this include arresting people because we 'think' they will commit a crime?

[vincomputer]

these are not new ideas. no funding to implement ..for so many cities...budget and politics are major hurdles ...

[hollsnd82]

its nice and easy but also a bit Orwellian

TRULY AMAZING but how will they afford all of these actions and how will people react
