About ten years ago now we were promised that technology would mean that everything would be connected, and "talking" to each other. Well, I'm still waiting for my toaster to start chatting away to the 'fridge.
Why would we want that? Good question. But there again, why would we want about 90% of the crap that they sell to us (well,
try to sell to us, in my case). Apparently, it was so (for example) the refrigerator would keep stock of what it contained, and go on-line to re-order when necessary. Wow!
Yeah, so when you come home from work ... do you think your box of groceries will (still) be waiting for you on your door-mat? Yeah. Right.
As I keep saying, we have got to the stage where technology can do (almost) anything we ask of it. To my mind, the problem is that we're not asking the right questions.
