Warm up

Look at the list of possible future smart home inventions. How realistic are they? Which one(s) would be the most useful?

1. The "Mood Adjuster": This home system watches your feelings and changes the lights, music, and smells to make you happy, even if you don't want it to. 2. The "Argument Helper": When people argue, this system listens and then plays calming sounds or even puts up walls to separate them. 3. The "Food Creator": A kitchen machine that scans your body and instantly makes a perfect, healthy meal for you, without any cooking. 4. The "Pet Talker": Your pet's collar translates every bark or meow into full human sentences so you know exactly what they are thinking. 5. The "Dream Catcher": This special bed system puts dreams into your mind while you sleep and then lets you watch them like a video when you wake up.
