    This could be very useful for helping to manage Alzheimer's patients, thanks for sharing MU.

      It really just freaked me out how close we are to becoming the Starship Enterprise. Good or Bad...I don't know!?!? Interesting find, though.

        It talks, gives you fashion advice and reminds you when to take your medication.
        Sounds cool Thanks Mik.

          The technology is pretty amazing, but truthfully, I think I would be annoyed living in a house that talked to me. How much these innovations actually improve life becomes a matter of diminishing returns. Some inventions make life significantly better, like a flush toilet for example, while others fall into the category of gimmick. I can see a benefit for the disabled, however.

            I have never stayed in one place, never bought just one brand, and I never will not reach for other horrizons. Not, but against some things Windows has done in the past to us...exampled by patenting programs that allow spying upon us.
