The Connected Home Vision

For years we've been teased with the promise of a completely network-connected home where all things digital - out PC data, Internet access, pictures, mucis, moves, TV or any other personal content is accessible at any time, anywhere in and even outside the home. This is, no doubt, an elusive vision to accomplish.  However, once you look past the hyperbole, the new business...  >>  

Where Did I Put My Keys?

"Now where did I put my keys?"  It doesn't have to be keys.  It could be glasses, cell phone, wallet, or any kind of item we normally deal with in our lives.  Does it mean our memories are bad? Not necessarily, but for those of us in the aging baby-boomer group, it might mean that we could use some help occasionally.   >>
