Networked Dream Home Is Still a Fridge Too Far | |

You're on your way to work when you realize you forgot to switch on the washing machine you loaded earlier that morning. No problem. You use your cellphone to send a text message to your personal computer. It transmits the order to your washer, which whirrs into life. Later that day you get stuck at the office. You're in danger of missing the big soccer match on TV so you e-mail your PC and tell it to switch on your video recorder at kick-off time. Match saved. It's a glimpse of a sleek technology-driven world which has been promised for a while but, according to industry experts, is still some way off. | ||
