So, it's 2025. You survived the AI boom, and your home looks as outdated as the flat screen TV you still own from 2012. It's time to bring your living space into this wild future we're living in. I mean, who needs to leave the house when every gadget and gizmo can do... everything, right inside your four walls? Smart devices are no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
