(BPT) - Did you know it’s almost the year that Michael J. Fox went “back to the future?” While we don’t have hover boards or flying cars, our innovations have changed drastically since 1985, especially when it comes to technology in the home.

High-fashion, high-function faucets

Kitchen faucets continue to increase in functionality and style – but imagine the convenience of having a faucet that can sense what you’re trying to accomplish, and with a simple wave of your hand, immediately responds to your needs. New MotionSense technology from Moen offers you three ways to operate the faucet. In addition to the traditional handle, you can activate the kitchen faucet by using the Wave Sensor – by waving your hand over the faucet to turn on and off – or the Ready Sensor – by placing your hands or an object under the spout.
