Dewan Bahasa Pustaka has published my article in the Dewan Ekonomi Disember 2015 Magazine.

A smart city uses digital technologies to enhance performance and well-being, to reduce costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively and actively with its citizens. Key ‘smart’ sectors include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. A smart city should be able to respond faster to city and global challenges than one with a simple ‘transactional’ relationship with its citizens.

The newest innovations in smart technology consist not of high-tech devices that are rarely used, but of improvements to everyday appliances. New York University’sComputer Science Department has a site devoted to smart refrigerators where they explain the advantages newer smart models will offer. For example, how many people have been convinced they had something in the fridge, only to be unable to find it later? Smart refrigerators will make it easier to know exactly what food and drinks are lurking in the back shelves. With a display, users can track what food is in the fridge and which are running low. The special smart technology allows the fridge to be able to identify the fridge’s contents. For random items purchased at a fruit stand, for example, a list of categorized products allows a person to quickly enter the items being put into the fridge. After these items are entered, the smart refrigerator can then use that information along with additional features to warn someone when an item is almost depleted or completely depleted. The smart fridge will also provide recipe suggestions with a click of a tab. Expiration dates can be easily remembered as the fridge lets you know which items will soon go bad.
#IEEE members are hard at work developing technologies that improve quality of life for the disabled, such as robotic housekeepers and smart wheelchairs.
