WORKING TITLE: Smart home brings more harm than good.
Smart home should not be implemented in terms of
security, privacy and conformity.
THESIS STATEMENT:
INTRODUCTION
ITEM DETAIL SOURCE
BACKGROUND Smart homes are becoming a norm
today. It is an integrated system inside
a house, which performing various
functions for daily use without any
human interaction.
PROBLEM/ISSUE Even though smart home bringing
more easiness and comfortability
toward users inside the house, some
issue should not be observe lightly as
this technology also risky to the users.
WRITER’S POV It is firmly agree that smart home
brings more risks than good.

system inside the house is vulnerable
since it is using the wireless network,
which is mostly connected to the
Internet.

CONCLUSION
ITEM DETAIL SOURCE
REPHRASE THESIS Safety, privacy, and conformity could
be harmed if smart homes system are
being implemented
SUMMARY Smart homes are still in development
and it needs to be mature enough to be
implemented inside the house. Safety
is an element that we need to highlight
because it involves on person’s life.
Breach of privacy in smart home
system could result in identity theft.
The unconformity, inconsistency and
incompatibility between various
vendors make smart home not suitable
to be impliment and it leads to higher
cost for maintanance.
SUGGESTIONS/ Build an impenetrable security
RECOMMENDATION solution that can make everynoe safe
to use smart home system. Besides, a
complete guideline on the usage of
private information must be existed so
that privacy transgress will not be a
risk. Last but not least, a standardise
smart home system must be
implemented to ensure the tecnology
being used in this system is not
complicated so that the cost for
maintaning the system is cheap an
affordable for household.
