We often think of innovative technology as expensive, but if we see it as cost-prohibitive, it can feel limiting. This perception can lead to hesitation in adopting cutting-edge systems, practices, and techniques.
Fortunately, the hefty costs are mainly tied to the initial rollout—due to research and development (R&D), patents, marketing, advertising, production, and distribution. However, prices drop significantly once new technology is produced at scale, and mass adoption quickly follows.
Today, we will go behind the scenes and explore several new-age technological systems designed to make our lives much easier, more productive, and more efficient than ever. Forget the notion that tech is unaffordable. These upfront costs are designed to save you money in the long run—that’s the power of smart technology.
From the lawn outside to the living room inside, various high-tech systems are all about simplifying your life. Let’s look at how you can save money, get rewarded, and embrace the world of smart tech like never before. A range of digital companions is available to ease your daily tasks in unique ways, helping you save money day by day, week by week, and month by month.
Smart Discount Apps
Smart discount apps are different from other in-house technical systems, contraptions, or solutions, but they are just as handy. These apps come in many different shapes and sizes, each tailored to a specific target market. Let’s consider restaurant discount apps designed to showcase a wide variety of in-network restaurants, grocery stores, or even gas stations, with different discounts and rewards associated with each establishment.
The best restaurant discount apps understand that consumers have unique preferences. They provide lots of variety, with some offering up to 50,000 in-network restaurants, eateries, takeaway stores, diners, and other food establishments. It’s like a buffet of choices on the menu – you pick based on your preferences.
As a consumer, you get many benefits from such smart discount apps. For example, you can shop around at various local restaurants featured on the app. Pick the ones that meet expectations and offer the best possible rewards. Plus, using a credit card rewards you from the credit card issuer and the discount app too. That’s twice as tasty to your wallet!
Smart Grass Cutters
Remember the days as a youngster when you mowed the lawn outside with a weed whacker or a lawnmower? It was always hard work filled with dirt, dust, and grime, not to mention lots of sweating, sneezing, and possibly even sulking. It was tough stuff, and it still is for many people who haven’t cottoned onto the latest technological innovations.
Today, you can enjoy the reliability, efficiency, and productivity of smart grass cutters and lawn maintenance tools. Known as robot lawnmowers, these incredible systems use powerful algorithms and AI-style technology to cut your lawn to perfection. Many brands are on the market, some with longer running times than others.
Plus, they’re all battery-powered and rechargeable and come with easy-to-change replacement parts. Like robot-powered vacuums and floor mops, these lawnmowers move effortlessly around your lawn, cutting the grass in neatly trimmed lines. Most of them rely upon perimeter wires to prevent them from running off into the great unknown. Plus, they are self-docking, and sensors show them exactly where to go. Not too shabby, huh?
Smart Vacuums and Floor Mops
Smart vacuums and floor mops can save you a ton of money, time, and effort over the long term. Everyone knows how expensive maid service is across the United States, continental Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Fortunately, you no longer need to physically mop your floors or vacuum up dirt, pet dander, spills, and grime. The market is saturated with smart vacuums and floor mops, which are now affordable for inexpensive, reliable, Wi-Fi/app-managed cleaning. Simply pick your favorite all-in-one robot floor mop/cleaner or buy stand-alone units at your leisure.
Smart AC Systems
Smart air conditioning systems have been around for a few years, but they are incredible money-saving solutions for customers. Electricity consumption remains one of the biggest utility expenses in an inflationary economy. Some people pay hundreds of dollars monthly
to keep the lights on. A big part of the expense comes from high-wattage devices and systems, which chew up lots of amps.
ACs, stoves, washers, and dryers fit the bill. Imagine being able to control your air-conditioning system from afar. Smart A/C systems allow you to do precisely that. You can set the temperature from your phone anywhere in the world. Provided there is an active, uninterrupted Internet connection – you’re golden.
Final Words
There are many similar smart systems in the home, such as smart refrigerators that inform you via apps when certain food items are running out and when to restock, home entertainment systems that can be controlled from your smartphone, and interconnected IOT devices that can operate independently on the same interconnected network.
Now that you know what’s possible, you may want to grab the keys to your smart car and self-navigate (if legal in your area) to the nearest restaurant to pick up a family meal for dinner!
