I remember seeing a flat screen monitor and computer plastered on to the front of a refrigerator before. In that case it wasn't used to operate the fridge, but it did provide practical functionality such as grocery inventory. I can't imagine standing in front of the fridge to web browse though. It is possible that eventually almost every appliance will have the equivalent of a computer, or at lease as powerful as one today. There are tremendous advantages to be had for collecting data through the network, controlling devices, troubleshooting, and setting previously nonexistent advanced settings. Thanks!

I think that is the other direction from which you can approach this issue. <abbr><em><abbr><em>lvss last blog post..<a href="http://indradhanush-laal.blogspot.com/2008/12/using-machine-vision-for-catching.html" rel="nofollow">Using Machine Vision For Catching Terrorists</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Does it count that many appliances today have computer chips, OS, software programs, etc., sitting in them?
