2. a) Read the advertisement below. What is its aim?

Calls for future family to trial smart home, rent free

The NSW1 government is calling for volunteers to test a technologically advanced home in Sydney’s Newington. The trial is about taking technology out of the lab and testing them in the real world, Minister for Energy, John Robertson, said. “We are looking for a family with children because we know that kids will use technology in a different way from their parents.”

“The residents will be able to control devices using an iPod, watch an ‘organic’ LED television and drive an electric car. The family will have to keep a lively blog and they will need a good sense of humour and plenty of patience because things will not always work perfectly.”

The Smart Home family would live in a three-bedroom house in Newington for 12 months.
