Smart Home Special Interest Group (SIG) Survey
One of the things the TVCUC board of directors struggles with is finding new ways to provide our members with interesting and informative content. But as technology moves forward in so many ways, one area of interest seems to stand out, and we receive many questions about it – smart home technology.
According to every reliable source I can find, leading interests among the 50-plus crowd include learning how to manage smart-home technology (23%), and streaming entertainment (including live TV) (22%). This, coupled with some straw polls we’ve conducted with subsets of our members, indicates that here in Tellico Village we have an even higher percentage of folks who would like to know more about cutting the cord, streaming, and automating various aspects of their home (40%).
We have created an online survey (link below) to help us better determine how many of our members would like to learn more about smart home technology, and ultimately participate in a Smart Home Special Interest Group (SIG). We envision this group to meet on a regular basis, have focused presentations, Q&A sessions, and in general, provide a nurturing environment where you can learn more about smart home technology and at the same time, meet other members of our club.
