From the outside, the houses of future will probably look the same as the houses of today. But home technology will be very different. In the future there will be no keys. You will press buttons on a special mobile phone to open the doors.

Each living room will have a big television. You will sit down on your sofa and just tell the TV to start playing your favourite programme. And in your bedroom, you will probably have a giant screen on the wall so that you can watch films in bed.

The bathroom door will also be “intelligent”. It will lock automatically when you enter the bathroom.

The homes of the future will also be more energy-efficient. Thirty per cent of the electricity will come from solar energy and the house will recycle water from the bath, sink and shower to flush the toilets.

So how long will you have to wait for these houses of the future? No one knows. Some people think homes will be like this in 2050. Others say that homes are already changing and that things will be very different in only ten or fifteen years.
