Wouldn’t it be beautiful?

Arthur C. Clarke said:

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Wouldn’t it be beautiful to have a light-filled hideaway, probably somewhere remote and in the middle of nature, made of natural materials like wood and stone, that always was a beautifully comfortable temperature inside? 100 degrees or 20 degrees, you’d never have to fuddle with a thermostat, it’d just know. 

Imagine windows and vents that automatically opened if it knew there was an amazingly beautiful breeze. The ecosystem of the cabin would take into account cross-breezes and the fact that heat always rises.

Away for a few days? It wouldn’t use any power, it’d be in a state of hibernation, waiting for you to come back by monitoring your Facebook or Twitter or Foursquare to measure intent and your actual location. 

It’d be eco-friendly, using solar, wind, and maybe geothermic to supplement the little power it already used.
