Vision:With more and more things going wireless and broadband, I see a common ground or standard to arise. With something as small as a handheld pc, you would be able to start your washing machine from across the house. Your refrigerator will print out a grocery list on your printer for you, or better yet order the food online once it has your approval. You’ll be able to see if you locked your door after you left the house or if you left the oven or stove on. And if you did forget something, you can take care of it from wherever you’re at. We live in a fast-paced society that wants more time for ourselves and less doing the regular chores. Soon these things shall be integrated into our normal lives and we’ll wonder how we lived without them.
