Home automation and custom motorization is here to stay. Actually, there's every indication that as an industry it is quickly on it's way to becoming, how do you say..."Ginormous"! In a nut shell, I believe there are 5 primary social forces behind this growth.

1. It's Fun - Who doesn't get a thrill pressing a Remote Control?
2. Energy Conservation - Monitoring and regulating energy consumtion is good for all of us.
3. Security - Is a motorized security gate/door a bad thing?
4. Convenience - Who wouldn't like their own personal robot?
5. It's Fun - I really felt the need to repeat this one.
