You might not think that you need security cameras that link to your phone and record important moments automatically so that you don't have to search through data yourself, but it's useful. Here are a few ways technology and smart devices have helped people at home.
Control Lights
When you find the perfect mattress at one of the mattress stores near me, you can be in your bed and be able to control the lighting. Getting out of bed to turn off the lights is a problem that everyone with a comfortable bed has. With smart lights, you don't have to get out of bed at all to fix your lighting. If you left a light on in the kitchen, you can just pick up your phone and turn it off. No leaving the bed for forgetful light switches ever again.
As a lifelong learner, I enjoy taking courses on edX and coursera. To learn more about the science of COVID transmission, take a look at the MITx course titled, "Physics of COVID-19 Transmission." Learn about the scientific principles behind the airborne transmission of COVID-19, and how quantitative safety guideline may be derived to assess the risk of transmission. You will explore factors such as the occupancy, the time spent in the space, the dimensions of the room, the use of face masks, ventilation, air filtration, humidity, the respiratory activities involved, etc.
Google and Apple jointly created the Exposure Notifications System out of a shared sense of responsibility to help governments and our global community fight the COVID-19 pandemic through contact tracing.
