問題詳情

第二篇：    The latest in technology for apartments encourages residents not to lift a finger, except maybe to touch their phones.Developers are certain that buyers want gadgets that could, say, help shuffle boxes of books to storage areas, or allow a peekinside the refrigerator when they’re at the grocery store and can’t remember if they need milk.   These digital amenities, which are controlled by voice commands and smartphone apps, are becoming available across theNew York area in condos and rentals. But these gadgets are not free. Users may have to pay a large amount of money to get thegadgets. Users may also feel troubled when these amenities occasionally stop functioning well.    But, to not plug in would be to lose out. “It is not about the future,” said Elena Ashkinazy, a real estate manager at TimeEquities, which has listed a “smart apartment” on the Upper East Side of New York City for its digital features. Thisapartment includes a fridge that has three built-in cameras that are accessible remotely. “The time is now,” she said, “and wehave to be up-to-date.”   The latest offering of cutting-edge features includes an all-in-one furniture system designed to save space by expanding orcontracting at the flick of a switch. It is available in rental projects in New Jersey and Manhattan. Renters in the projects aregiven the option of leasing a telescoping bed-and-dresser system designed by Ori Systems.    At night, renters can slide out a hidden bed, by manually pressing a switch, tapping their phone, or through voice-assistantsoftware. In the morning, the bed can retreat to the Ori unit, which is plugged into a wall, allowing a larger living space forentertaining. The unit, lined with hanging rods and drawers, is made of poplar plywood and also has a surface that can beextended for a desk.    Ori is expected to be most popular with renters of small studios. The technology could help avoid the hassle of foldingsofa beds every morning, though it still may have to work out some imperfections. Renters would likely pay an extra $350 amonth for an Ori unit.
