CYBER HOMES

Going forward, we would like to help every family to create a cyber home to complement their physical home.

Cybernetics is the science of effective organization

A Cyber Home can get all the benefits the Internet can offer

The needs and possibilities of each family are very broad; from market analysis for different types of purchases -home, insurance, food...- to the integration of new technologies and multimedia; and the development of content forums dealing with diverse family or personal problems, weblogs, etc. Nowadays families use the Internet for communication with family members and communicating with public and private institutions. There are already some websites with useful content for families (agendas, photo-albums, email, etc.). A cyber home goes beyond these however...

Since the family is the basic unit of society and the economic engine as a consumer unit, higher states (companies, public administration, etc.) should have an interest in having a specific formula to communicate with every cyber home. Of course, each family should also have the choice and initiative of establishing the communications channel.

This will become a reality and will be effective when there are real "cyber home" websites customized for each family, but with some basic specifications to match the needs of all families

In the same way that a physical home does, a cyber home will be able to access the outside world and enjoy the possibilities that the Internet offers to families. Access from the cyber home will establish the degree of protection required for each family member.

We would like to help families to create a cybernetic home in addition to their physical homes. The aim is that through that web page you can do any kind of paperwork virtually, make connections with financial institutions, public organizations, local administrations, etc., a kind of cybernetic family record book with the validity to work. There is a growing tendency in today's society to create a single window for certain bureaucratic transactions. If you do it as a family and online you can save time, paperwork, etc.

Software tools exist to make family communication easier, to share information but there is still a long way ahead to change the web-page of each family into a cybernetic home.

The final aim is to get a family web page to do any type of transactions in an integrated way.
