New York’s Technological Amenities

As technologies and information systems increase in commonality and availability, more condos and homes are being outfitted with systems that make life that much more convenient.  Technology components in condos are now becoming so common that it is almost expected, just as water and electricity are.  The most simple of these technologies consists of programs that control lighting, the blinds, and climate.  This is just the tip of the iceberg compared to what many condo developers are including in their new projects.  

New condo developments from New York to New Jersey are including full-scale computer systems that can control audio and visual function so you can listen to different types of music in different rooms or transfer a movie from on TV to another.  Other automated systems link condo residents to concierge services so they can make dinner reservations without picking up the phone.  Residents can see if there are lines at local restaurants or nightclubs, receive confirmation when the children come home, or see when washing machines become available in the laundry rooms.  The best part is that there technologies are being offered in New York condos of all price ranges.

 Technology is becoming so prevalent that is it’s expected.  Many people will not consider a condo for purchase unless it comes with these now standard automated information systems.  So is all this technology making us more efficient or more lazy?  It’s tough to say.  I guess in the long run we are all that much more efficient and can share information that much faster allowing us more time to work and therefore more time to play!
