Warrenthinks: We have sensors for checkin temperature. We have methods of control for most things associated with sensors (switches). What is to say we cannot use switches for everything and use a pc to control them and have profiles, then attach voice commands to these profiles to make it totally hands free. The system would have to be ultra secure though. Imagine someone hacking your center and turning the heating up during summertime.

Home technology upgrades
Warrenthinks: I understand it is possible to have a fully automated home, I have already started by automating my living rooms media and home security capabilities. TV, Hi-Fi, DVD, CD, DIVX, Internet, PVR (Personal Video Recorder) Security Camera Monitor for less than £500. The remote I use can be operated anywhere in the home with the lack of display being the only let down for the remote.
PS Security Camera may be monitored anywhere in the world. Catch Thieves whilst on holiday in Venezuela. Maybe so... :-)

How can we avoid remembering passwords?
Warrenthinks: Fingerprint biometric recognition is already here. Keyboards and Laptops with built-in FP Scanners offer easy to use authentication systems and requires a simple swipe of your digit over the FP scanner. Windows account security login and website accounts are easily logged into by swiping finger over a unobtusive scanner without the need to push any "OK".

Intrusive advertising
Warrenthinks: Neither. We pay for our internet, we pay a TV license. BBC do not advertise, Internet does. What a bridge for an ISP to cross and very unlikely to occur. Imagine the bliss an internet session would be without all the popup ads or even the need for a pop up blocker. Bizarre comment I know but just "imagine".
