Connected Homes

A new Bluetooth toy from Siemens puts the power of your home in a button sized device you can wear like a badge. The wearer only has to speak commands to the button which are then implemented throughout various systems in the house. For example, I could speak through the intercom, unlock the door and let a guest in, even answer my phone calls, all with the touch of a button. Watch out, you will at one point sit in your lazy boy and pretend to be Captain Kirk. The device can't 'beam you up,' but there are plans in the future to check your email with it.
