#1391: "Smart Homes"

Can technology make us smarter? Well I’m not sure about that, but it can make the things around us smarter. In fact, advances in building techniques and practices, and the addition of custom technology have started a new trend in construction: smart homes.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll put on our hard hats and tour a smart home building site.

We’ll also hear about a law being proposed in New York State that would allow students with disabilities to walk the stage during graduation ceremonies…and we’ll spend an academic minute with a good temptation.
