IN WHAT WAY DO YOU SOMETIMES USE THE CLOUD?
In what way do you sometimes use the cloud?
When I hear cloud I immediately think of saving files. I can put files on the cloud myself or my computer or mobile phone
does an automatic backup.
The files/information stored on the cloud are very secure and I can work from any device, anywhere, at any time.
CAN YOU THINK OF SOME OTHER APPLICATIONS IN WHICH A SMART DOORBELL COULD COME IN HANDY?
Can you think of some other applications in which a smart doorbell could come in handy?
Whenever I think of a smart doorbell, I think of visitors or delivering parcels. It is useful if you are not at home and they
provide a container that I can use to give the courier instructions via the doorbell on where he/she can place the
package.
In addition, you can also simply receive a notification of low tides via a smart doorbell and thus keep an eye on
suspicious situations.

remote control via your mobile phone. A smart washing machine also prevents you from wasting energy. This can be
done, for example, by turning on the washing machine when the solar panels have a lot of solar energy.
Another example is programming a washing machine to wash within a certain time even if you are not at home.
Very handy if you want to put the stuff in the dryer after you wake up.

Perhaps you have heard of the situation in Belgium with the counter that could or could not go backwards. What did you
think of that? Has anyone around you experienced any disadvantages?
At home I have personally experienced the consequences of a digital meter. My parents installed a digital counter and
corona and still complain about this. My parents want to generate their own energy through solar panels for their daily
use and they succeeded very well. But with the digital counter it is completely different.

VERY FUNNY OF WOURSE, BUT CAN YOU THINK OF SOME ETHICAL ISSUES CONNECTED TO AUTONOMOUS
VEHICLES?
Very funny of wourse, but can you think of some ethical issues connected to autonomous vehicles?
Of course, the question still remains who will be responsible for an accident involving a self-driving car. As I have already
seen in several articles/videos/.., an accident is not inevitable. So the question becomes who will be blamed?
Are we as cyclists, pedestrians and other low tide drivers in more danger?
