- Aardwolf 14y agoI remember reading in 2000 that every home would have domotica in 2010. Yeh, right. I think around as much homes have it today, as there were in 2000.
- swalsh 14y agoHonestly, not that far off... granted it seems to have more of a political perspective then technological: this is paragraph one from the section on Europe. "First, European governments will be absorbed by the need to renegotiate the social contract, i.e., the entitlement programs of the social welfare state hammered out in the post-1945 period. This is not a choice but a necessity: a large, aging population sits atop a shrinking labor pool and declining birth rates, unemployment remains chronic, and growth rates are projected at 2-3 percent per year at best--acceptable by historical standards (as well as the standards of other countries) but short of public expectations. Labor market rigidities and lack of productivity growth will strengthen protectionist tendencies."
- mattmanser 14y agoHuh? Not that far off? That's totally off. There's no renegotiation going on of the social contract.
- cygx 14y agoPerhaps not on a large scale, but things like Agenda 2010 and Riester-Rente in Germany are just that written small.
