ADT Security Pro - Home Security Blog

In September of 1962, the first "Smart Home" popped onto your television screen. A futuristic glimpse of life in the year 2062.

Who owned this home of the future?  George and Jane Jetson. A space age spin-off of the Flintstones, the Jetson's were the first family to have home automation. The TV lowered from the ceiling and projected your phone calls. They had fully automated appliances with food cooked and served at the press of a button. The vacuum even ran by remote control. Lights and temperature were controlled by their voice. George said "News", and the newspaper scrolled on the "televiewer". Half a century later the Smart Home of our the space age family is quickly becoming a reality.
