Samsung is betting everything on the curved screen

Philip Bernardi

Waking up to music spread throughout the home via wi-fi, take the butter for breakfast from a futuristic refrigerator, keep an eye on the news on a television screen concave hyper connected and then run to work with one hand to the other twenty-four hours and busy typing on the smartphone the wash cycle of the washing machine.
A nightmare? Maybe for some, for many others it is life in the future or smart life. The technology that will help us to make us gain time. The concept of life (and home) intelligent monopolized the Samsung European Forum 2014, the annual event in which the South Korean giant to the old continent presents its new products. “The house of the future must protect, be flexible and respond efficiently to our needs,” said the president of Samsung Europe Sunny Lee in the futuristic palace of Congresses of Malaga.

washing machine The rumors had already ruled out any anticipation on the phone and the Galaxy S5 phablet (fusion of phone and tablet) Notes 4, but few thought that the scene would have been to take a good old, so to speak, washing machine. The appliance most mistreated at home, often covered and relegated to the basement, you take a revenge and gets nice, starting with its name: Crystal Blue (cost something less than 2,000 euro). Well-designed, has no button is touch-only. It has a porthole bigger and taller than we are used to but mostly you connect to the Internet. As well as its predecessor with more than half a century of life, she too (at least in intention Samsung) promises to make our lives better by allowing us to operate it from a distance. And the fridge? Even for that there is news. Samsung brings in Italy the wi-fi model already on sale in the U.S. but think back to the way of preserving food and version (huge in size) that will enter the European market this year (April, about 3,000 EUR) introduces two compartments, one for food (especially drinks) that we use the most, and one for the preservation of what we use less frequently.

TV show In the house of the future center everything is (or returns to be?) television. Even this hyper-, more and more container products on demand and be able to surf on the internet with the right side of the screen while in the left airs the postponement of the championship. But those who had just bought an ultra-slim resign yourself to hang in the living room: the trend (for now ridden in a particularly convinced by Samsung and LG, and completely ignored by others including Sony) is the curved screen. Samsung does offer a wide range, both in 4K, the last frontier of high definition (model 65 “will cost between 4,000 and 5,000 Euros) and LEDs. Among the prototypes there’s even a 3D version that allows you to see two programs simultaneously on the same screen.

Tablet and smart glass In this new conception of home while smartphones and tablets are transformed from mere objects of work or entertainment. Located in Malaga Samsung introduced two new tablets, the Galaxy NotePro to 12.2 “(899 EUR including keyboard) and the TabPRO (12.2″, 10.1 “and 8.4″). Among the new printers also are activated simply by touching them with our smartphone or activating them remotely via wi-fi and two cameras: the Galaxy Room 2 (399 €) and the new NX30 (€ 999 with 18-55 lens).

Nothing official, however, with regard to Galaxy Glass, glasses intended to compete with the already famous Google Glass and according to the Korea Times Samsung would be ready to launch in September at the IFA in Berlin. Samsung says the Asian site, have already filed patents. glasses should work in symbiosis with a smartphone, a bit ‘like the Galaxy Gear, the smart watch of the Korean house, for example showing notifications when the lenses get a text message or an email.

Before the smart home will become a mass phenomenon, with the times

class=”nero13lucida c76″>

bell horse racing .. the grass grow! But meanwhile travels industrial research and chases the future.
And then, because this house will become truly “smart” to be overcome security problems.
As reported by Proofpoint (a company specializing in computer security ) over 100,000 appliances have been infected by a virus that has made them the perfect victims for sending and reproduction of spam messages: in the period from 23 December to 6 January, have been well 750,000 emails containing spam and commercials that have invaded the smart homes.
It is a campanellone alarm, which has been discussed for about a year, and that will be one of the most important factors related to home security for the future. The home devices connected to the network, in fact, despite being designed to be accessible from the outside, through the use of applications that make it possible to control at a distance, have a software that elementary-unlike what happens on smartphones, tablet and computer-currently can not be protected with anti-virus and anti-spam, and the only update which will be submitted to the firmware is issued directly by the produttore.Pensiamo for example devices equipped with camera: they could be abused by attackers who would thus be able to see everything that happens in the home and taken into account when there is none! Brrr

… What propinano the “stupidario” of smart appliances
… And where is the intelligence? In order to start the washing machine being away from home, via internet? (If you want you can ‘already’ do all the washing machines have buttons to delay the start … But then so ‘way to start the washing machine when not’ in the house?) … Or the fridge with two compartments ( !), so ‘every time you open them both’ cause you can not remember where you put something. Maybe they should be the companies to be a bit ‘more’ intelligent appliances without creating many unnecessary features …

good, I wanted to write more or less the same thing!
When I was at school in the seventies and eighties, I remember the newspapers and magazines that told us in 2000 that we were going to work with the flying machines. Today, the City of Rome is bankrupt and not even with the train Roma Lido we can get to work because the “poor” go to stealing copper as they do in Argentina since 100 years. But “these”, before speaking of the washing machine to turn on a computer, they realized that the world we live in, or not? And always the same newspaper, as you wrote, or mistake a month ago he published an article about how he imagined the world today and there Isaac Asimov pointed out all the things that have not come true? But let’s leave the …

Sorry but I’m not ‘understanding’ nothing! I mean, you talk about lifestyle futuristic (just read the article above) and if that ‘s true CHEERS!! Do I get on the same page of your daily talk of’ poverty ‘on the rise’ in your own words (actually ‘ours), about washing machines that light from the sun, always on the front page there is’ the article on ELECTROLUX who wants dimmezzare salaries, at this rate I think we will return to wash clothes in the basin, with the radio to ‘ear (placebo effect). course that stupid, and’ obvious, this item ‘dedicated to the richest 10% of households! I wonder ‘if the technology will invent’ something for us “mere mortals” such as food “holographic” that will keep us ‘well in line, or a job where the number of working hours will be’ inversely proportional to the wage (Electrolux docet) question we will work less or more ‘? …….. you can imagine!
end with a phrase from the great Toto’, but do me a favor ………… ……………
