Remove your old good carpet. Today I have heard an idea about an unusual carpet. This carpet is able to think.
In a figural sense, of course.
The matter is that it will have a chip installed in it controlling the heating, lighting and even signaling of apartment. It enables to check up the temperature regularly, switch the light on when somebody steps on it.
In any time you can stop the functions that you no longer need. I suppose this novelty will like especially asiatic people who usually have a meal sitting on the floor covered with colored carpets.
