"Someday soon you'll be able to cook dinner, program your meal-time music, send instant messages to tell the kids that dinner is ready, and set the burglar alarm on your vacation home--all before you sit down to eat." Does this strike anyone else as absurd? Let's parse it. "Someday soon you'll be able to cook dinner... before you sit down to eat." Sorry. I'm already in that habit now. "Someday soon you'll be able to...program your meal-time music...before you sit down to eat." Wow. Guess I can throw away that pesky on-off button on the cd player, huh?. "Someday soon you'll be able to...tell the kids that dinner is ready...before you sit down to eat." Huh? It screams at the kids from the back porch? Now you're talking. "Someday soon you'll be able to...set the burglar alarm on your vacation home...before you sit down to eat." What for? In case he's coming back for the tea service after last night's raid? I'm afraid this looks like a bunch of solutions in search of a problem.
