In this post, we’ll highlight some key inventions from 1950 to the present. In a previous post, we learned about the smart home predictions made in a 1939 issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine. Fast forward to the 1980s, the Back to the Future movie series gave Americans a glimpse into what the smart home of the future might look like.
