The Future Is Now

I look forward with great relish to any story about high-tech houses of the future. By gum, one day I WILL live in a home with a robot butler and a talking microwave. The Clapper will no longer be the technological pinnacle of my existence. Thankfully, I may not have long to wait, according to this report from the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. There are all sorts of Jetson-esque gizmos, including a bathroom scale that automatically notifies your doctor of dramatic weight fluctuations and an alarm clock that triggers the coffeemaker to start brewing ten minutes before you wake up. Panasonic, Sony, and Sunbeam are just a few of the companies building products for this high-tech abode. Beam yourself the rest of the details by clicking on the link above.
