Headline: Integrated Homes
Nutshell: Homes of the future will react to voice commands, and the internet will be browsed from TV and other devices more than from a computer.
Vision:By 2010 all homes (if owner chooses) will be automated via voice, and connected to the internet. So, I will be able to enter my home and utter "internet" and my t.v. or other device will spark up and show the internet. I will then say "schedule — tonight", and my house will speak back telling me my schedule which will be pulled from a central, mostly secure database on the internet. Of course, I will be able to access this from my phone, watch, or tieclip, as well, so I needn’t wait until I get home.
