Welcoming The Smart Home
As smart appliances become readily available, many consumers have questions about their impact on daily life. However, CNET's knowledge of this market has demonstrated that the more exposure consumers have to connected gadgets, the more they see their potential. The panel will explore what needs to happen to drive mass adoption; how demographics and cultural traditions play into the future of the smart home; and which major shifts will arrive first.
Lindsey Turrentine, Editor-in-Chief of CNET, and Rich Brown, Executive Editor of Appliance Reviews, will debate these questions with ADT Corporation Chief Innovation Officer Arthur Orduna, The Home Depot Director of Strategic Business Development - Home Automation Amanda Parrilli, IFTTT CEO Linden Tibbets, SmartThings Founder and CEO Alex Hawkinson and Quirky CEO Ben Kaufman.
