The Machines are Taking Over

You know when you leave the house to go to work and you forget to reset the thermostat? And it's 95 degrees outside and your house leaks like a sieve so your AC is working overtime for no reason? Well, no more high energy bills! Now you can have a machine do all of your thinking for you. Or some of your thinking. OK, really just a very small tiny piece of your thinking.
With Nest you can retrofit your existing thermostat and have this little machine learn your habits. You begin by setting and changing it when you normally would. Nest remembers and learns and will start setting itself. If your habits change, it continues to learn.
You can even use an app on your phone or computer to control it if you are away from the house. It will also track energy usage and show you when you are conserving.
All this in a little sleek circle that you just twist.
Of course when the machines take over, this thing is going to sweat you out of house and home.
