The Future of Robots

An interesting article. This factoid caught my eye : "...the typical U.S. household today has more than 225 microcontrollers..."

I just want to be able to control the lights, thermostat, and security system by speaking to a computer from anywhere in the house. We've been shown this type of thing for at least 50 years in the media. It's time to get it done and have it available at a reasonable cost. Of course, maybe it's already available and I just need to look into it.
