"The second new development and the major force behind the drive to add more
intelligence to homes is the ability to connect embedded chips -- appliance to appliance,
car to office, and home to marketplace. The links could include many chips that are
already in homes as well as those to come.

The upshot will be a host of new gateways to the Internet, which until now has been the
nearly exclusive turf of the PC user. By 2002, said Scott McNealy, chairman and CEO of
California-based Sun Microsystems Inc., more than half of the devices used to get on the
Internet will be such appliances as TVs and cars. And with time to kill while doing the
