Context:

The Road Ahead, published in 1995 and brought out in a new edition in 1996, touches on aspects of life close to everyone. Bill Gates, famous across
the world for his successful business, Microsoft, gives readers a fascinating insight into how personal computers are in the future going to change our lives still further and how the Internet will continue to evolve. Optimistic and
enthusiastic, Bill Gates takes the reader into a world of the near future. This is a world where less paper is used, where teachers share their work and reach more students, where businesses hold meetings across the world without
anyone leaving their offices, and where someone’s house can recognize them and choose their favorite music as they enter.

@oristarA,
Yes. Anyway, it refers to the people who live there.

It's really unspecified, and the writer shouldn't make us depend on some sort of elimination process to understand what he meant.
