As the world changes and we look to ways not only to save energy but to reduce consumption in everyday office space. Gone will soon be the day when we can or should have all the lights blaring in an office or AC running in conference rooms that are not being used.
Let’s look at sci-fi which has always been a starting point for ideas that become integrated into every day society. Think back to the communicator on the show Star Trek, it looks and acts much like the first flip phones. You would see people talking on the phone in their cars, walking down the street and while being beamed up in the elevator ( something that always drives us crazy, am I right? ). Now that we all carry a phone, especially those of us that carry a phones that do everything. Now that we carry these devices with connectivity, Bluetooth, mobile web browsing and instant access to everything social we are attached and connected everywhere we go.
Let’s take all of this one step further and make it green. Imagine having your mobile device control your environment. As you enter a room certain elements are controlled by your device, let’s say the lighting as you enter a room or get closer to a light source elements start to get brighter. You site at your desk and your picture frame pulls from a slideshow on your phone. The tv pulls a list of all of your favorite stations into a playlist and goes through them for your review. Of course the stereo grabs your play list and you can control it right from the device. Even that really cool thermostat The Nest being controlled by your device just by coming into the room.

Next we will have to move to your car and take it to the extreme. More to come…visit us again. www.mindactive.com where innovation in web and mobile are what we do.
