Talking household appliances of the future

[Bass Viking]

In the years to come we can expect to see home appliances that speak. Like the wisecraking scale. When you step on, it says "Hey, one at a time!"

I don't even want to think of what your toilet will utter.

I know, crazy idea but they had them on The Flintstones.

Cheech's voice saying, "Oh, man... what died?"

What if your bass started talking to you?

"Pull my G string...." "WHAT?!" "Oh, nothing!"

I don't need a liquor cabinet that shuts me off at 2AM thanks.

Great, your whole house will sound like Stephen Hawking.

I think Japan have had talking toilets for a while now.

It would be too traumatized to talk

IPV6 will make everything connected and interactive via the Internet - so you can message your toilet if you want.

This already exists in some households. Draw your bath while driving home - once the Networks catch up - you will see amazing things. We are still to some degree bandwidth and address strapped.

Imagine, for example, attaching your favorite Movie to an e-mail and sending like you do a document attachment today. The recipient would received it in a few seconds, be able to download it in a few seconds and watch it on their TV or TV/Computer as convergence will continue where there will be no distinction. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

My fridge would say 'Another beer? Already?' everytime I opened it.

My toaster already talks, but it might be retarded as it only makes this loud 'Chk' sound.

I often say this to my toilet.

I just want a couch that says 'welcome home, can I give you a reach around?'
