行动起来吧。科技的关键是让生活更加美好。


当然，“更好”的标准因人而异，取决于他们在特定时刻的需求。尽管如此，技术具有影响许多不同阶段生活的独特能力。对一些人来说，科技提供了一个轻松的下午娱乐，而对另一些人来说，它提供导航帮助、改善医疗保健或更精确的科学研究。


有趣的是，为一个目的开发的技术很少与用于另一个目的的技术完全无关。例如，运动相机的进步使得一个人可以记录她们在滑雪场上的滑雪过程，也可以使得人体摄像头来帮助防止警察侵犯人权。3D 打印的进步可以让一个人可以制作超级英雄的动作手办，也使得志愿者可以为体弱者制造氧气呼吸机成为可能。技术很重要，它影响着我们所有人。


开源的工作之一是确保每个人都能获得技术进步，无论种族、性别、国籍、身体能力、宗教信仰或财富如何。可悲的是，有些公司将技术视为一种工具来获取有关其客户（即你和我！）的数据，即使这些客户为该技术的研究和开发提供资金。不过，这不是开源的目标，开源项目保护其用户。


是的，家庭自动化是一种现代便利，它正在变得一天比一天好。但这是你的家。开源家庭自动化可以让生活变得更轻松，更像是所有科幻书籍和电影中承诺的未来。但它也可以改善那些身体能力与电器制造商计划不同的人的生活。一个简单的 Python 脚本对一个用户来说可能只是带来了一些便利，而对其他人来说却可能会改变生活。


家庭自动化是一个令人兴奋和有趣的技术分支。 借助这本 **[电子书](https://opensource.com/downloads/home-automation-ebook)**，立即开始设计你的家庭自动化解决方案，然后与他人分享你的创新，让每个人都能受益。


这就是开源的真正意义所在：可以帮助世界上的所有人。

OK
Let's face it. The point of technology is to make life better.

Of course, what qualifies as "better" varies for people, depending on what they need at any given moment. Still, technology has the unique ability to affect lives at many different stages. For some people, technology offers a relaxing afternoon of entertainment, while for others, it provides navigational assistance, improved health care, or more precise scientific research.


Interestingly, technology developed for one purpose is rarely divorced from technology used for another. For example, progress made in sports cameras so one person can record their snowboard ride down a ski slope also enables bodycams to help prevent human rights violations by police. Progress made in 3D printing so one person can prototype superhero action figures also makes it possible for volunteers to create oxygen ventilators for the infirm. Technology matters, and it affects us all.

It's part of the job of open source to ensure that technological advancements are available to everyone, regardless of ethnicity, gender, nationality, physical abilities, religion, or wealth. Sadly, there are companies out there that view technology as a tool to farm data about its customers (that's you and me!), even while those customers finance the research and development of that technology. That's not what open source is about, though. Open source protects its users.

Yes, home automation is a modern convenience. It's getting better every day. But it's your home. Open source home automation can make life a little easier, a little more like the future promised in all the sci-fi books and movies. But it can also improve the lives of those with different physical abilities than what an appliance manufacturer planned for. A simple Python script written as a minor convenience for one user can be a life-changer for someone else.

Home automation is an exciting and fun branch of tech. Start designing your home automation solutions today with the help of this ** ebook**, and then share your innovation with others so everyone can benefit.

That's just what open source is really all about: taking care of each other.
