| Tony Fadell with his product called the Nest Learning Thermostat |
Nest Labs is a company with Tony Fadell as the CEO. It is a company that makes stuff like thermostats, smoke detectors and other home automation devices. However, it is not just like any home automation devices, Nest Labs have created them in a way that it will observe what you do to them and it will memorize it.
The Nest Learning Thermostat:
This is their product that made them famous, it is a thermostat that could memorize your habit of changing the temperature at certain times and it would memorize the changes so you will not have to keep on changing all the time. It is also Wi-Fi-enabled, which means that you would be able to change the temperatures from your phone. The point of this is so that it could conserve much more energy.
The Nest Protect:
The Nest Protect is a smoke detector that can detect not just any smokes, but it can figure out what kind of smoke it is detecting or where the smoke comes from. It can tell you what is going on when the alarm beeps and you can even check it from your phone, you can also deactivate the alarm from your phone.
This all comes back to Tony Fadell's speech on TED Talks about how we have to look into the little problems, those who have been masked by habits. They have succeeded in seeing the problems and actually did something about it. For the thermostats you won't even have to walk to the thermostat back and forth every single time, and for the alarm you won't have to even be super panicked anymore when you burned your popcorn and your alarm beeps. Thanks to these creative and brilliant minded designers that we can have these better technologies that make our life much easier than ever before.
