Hi Keith, Google "Smart Appliances" and you'll find some articles. Here are a few links:
http://www.lg.com/ca_en/lgsmarthome/home_appliances.jsp http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/lg-thinq-linqs-your-smart-appliances-with -wifi-and-smartphone-ap http://greentechadvocates.com/2012/01/19/2012-the-year-of-smart-appliances/ Now, is your wife sighted? Ever considered asking her to change her name to "Honey App"? I'd imagine her voice recognition capabilities would be even better than SIRI *smile*. Joking aside, it's hard to say when this will become main stream reality, the Engadget article is from the 2011 CES which is almost 2 years ago and it will be interesting to see if these companies continue to showcase these kind of appliances at the upcoming CES in January 2013 or if, like other things, these are concept products which won't make it to market for a long time. I am sure connected appliances will eventually become the standard, but the question is whether this will be the case in the next 2 or 3 years or if it's going to be 6 or 8 years.
