Day-to-day Living Set to be Transformed by Technology - Beko and Futurologist Reveal Robots Will be the Main Users of White Goods by 2050

ISTANBUL, September 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

• Beko and Futurologist Dr Ian Pearson predicts we could soon be living amongst robots, with Androids completing majority of household chores by 2050
• Growth of technology will support healthier lifestyles; weekly food shop will become redundant, as robots connect with other appliances in the home to replenish healthy ingredients for the family

The once distant dream of robotic assistants and self-sufficient appliances may soon become a reality, and as technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) continue to advance, the way in which we live is set to be transformed.  AI and IoT will be essential to most families and will be a foundation for making everything else better. Day-to-day life, as we know it, could be unrecognisable as soon as 2050.

This dramatic transformation was revealed by leading home appliance manufacturer, Beko in partnership with Dr Ian Pearson as part of a panel debate at IFA, the world's leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances.

The debate at IFA focused on, "The future of home appliances in a fast-changing world," and this document summarises the top five trends for future living that were published this week by Dr Ian Pearson in a lengthier white paper. The report explores the ever-changing consumer trends and technological shifts that are set to impact the way people live and consequently, how technology will revolutionise the home in the near and distant future.

1. Rise of the Robots  

By 2050, make way for a new type of babysitter, butler or housekeeper as robots will take on the majority of household chores to ease time pressures. The weekly food shop could become a thing of the past, as together with the use of smart fridges, robots will determine what supplies are needed and when. They may eventually develop the intelligence to automatically re-order lower stock items with delivery, allowing households to benefit from a fresh and healthy diet free from 'naughty' foods which these sophisticated machines will prepare by talking intelligently with your other household appliances.
