What does HAL stand for anyway?
HAL stands for Home Automated Living. It is a voice control system developed to control your home with your voice, and a company named “Home Automated Living” develops it. The HAL2000 is a brand new system that uses the latest in state-of-the-art speaker independent continuous voice recognition technology. Just pick up any phone, hit the # key and talk normally. There’s no need to talk slowly, HAL2000 will recognize your voice and execute your commands. You can say commands as complex as: “Every Saturday and Sunday Turn Living Room Lights On at 6 pm for Three Hours.” When you’re not at home, just dial your home number, enter your secret code and tell HAL2000 what to do.
