Read the following passage:
Mark was excited to be the first one in his development to
have a SmartHouse. Thanks to the marvels of modem
technology, he'd be enjoying lazy days in the hammock
while the house took care of itself - everything from
dusting the blinds to organizing the closets to cooking
dinner! He spent most of the day Friday installing the
wireless receptors. On Saturday, he was busy
programming the garage functions. Sunday was a little
frustrating as he figured out the cleaning codes. Mark
spent most of the following week attaching sensors to
each piece of clothing. Next week would be all the
silverware, dishes, pots, and pans.
