Once you e into the building, you will feel that you39。re in a modern and future home. When you enter the building, Grace39。s voice, ing from a hidden speaker, tells you your messages. In the kitchen, you set a bag of flour（面粉） on a flat stone table. Grace sees what you39。re doing and makes a menu of flourbased foods on the table. Once you choose one, Grace gives you ingredients（配料）. There39。s also a notice board in the kitchen made of “intelligent（智能的） cloth” that works like a touch screen puter. You can deal with postcards and invitations and surf the net with the touch of a finger. The invitations could be encoded（編碼）. You can deal with them on the puter. It39。s part of Microsoft39。s Smart Personal Objects Technology, whose aim is to make every object more efficient（有效率的）. “The day when your house bees a member of your family is not far,” says Pam Heath, a manager of Microsoft. At the Andersen Windows Company, Jay Libby imagines that windows made of intelligent glass can be changed into TVs. “Nobody wants a television set,” says Libby. “What you want is the service it provides.” If the TV isn39。t improved, it will disappear in the future. Home entertainment is one consideration for the future. At the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, scientists are designing systems that will allow old people to live better on their own. So Grandma39。s home can be cleverly designed to recognize（識別） her ways of waking, sleeping and movement. Family members will be told any change by their puters.（1）We can know fr
