I see this as just another device to make people think they don't have to be responsible for anything. In fact, I can actually see SOME people getting a pet just to have that silly automated dog-house. You know, the way they have to upgrade everything the second something new comes out?
I can hear a lot of people now, "
Oh I don't have to go home yet. I can just feed him from here and never pay attention to him today!"
Global Exclusive Patent Smart Doghouse T-Pai, Open a New Era for Human and Pet Communication
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-exclusive-patent-smart-doghouse-t-pai-open-a-new-era-for-human-and-pet-communication-227540981.htmlThere is a built-in automatic feeding system. Dog owners can pre-set feeding times and the amount of food, or remotely control them through mobile devices like Smartphone or Tablet. When the system detects that the drinking water is running low, it will refill automatically. T-Pai has food storage capacity of up to one week, leaving dog owners carefree while they are away from home. The health management system will record the eating habits, growth data and conduct health analysis of their dog, providing reports and suggestion to ensure dogs' owners are aware of the health status of their dogs.
The smart toilet system in the doghouse releases a liquid scent that after smelling and attracts dog to go to toilet. When the system detects excrement, it will flush and sterilize automatically. In the unlikely event of a leak or blockage in the toilet system, a warning will be given off to protect the home for hygiene purpose.
Today's world seems SO ridiculous to me!
