"Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year." Ch. 3

This article from BBC News on LG technology is wonderful. I see this as the future for technology in our homes.  While many high end advances, such as the talking fridge, will only be available to the wealthy class, I can see the realities hitting us middle class folks in the next ten years. If we live in a technology world now I can only imagine what the future holds.

Having said that, I think there is still a fine line between reality and technology. While I see there are several advancements to technology, they are never quite as I thought they would be.  I feel they are advanced, yet not near as advanced as they should be. I.e. where are our hovercrafts? Our Airplanes the best bet for forever? And what about making products available for the middle class? Just a few thoughts.
