Episode description

In this episode of There are Lots of Things, April and Maddie talk about the wild world of smart technology! What smart tech do we have in our homes, what smart tech do we definitely want, and the pros and cons of the whole dang thing.  

Also on the table for discussion: the Jetsons, Smart House (the D-Com starring Katey Sagal), the Internet of Things, and a real software engineer's stance on smart technology. A real one.
