I've been known to comment on training courses that we'll have true internet integration with everyone when we can contact our bath as we travel home and have it filled and ready for when we arrive.

Well - gulp - we're getting there. Here's a hotel system that controls all the baths from a single central point, allowing for filling, emptying and even a selection of bubble bath as appropriate to be supplied.


The hotel display panel shows a load of graphics and at this stage seems to be hotel based, and local as opposed to wide area



And I did notice that all the rooms were occupied by a couple known as Mr and Mrs Smith.

Give it a couple of years, and it will be in the home, I expect. And perhaps we'll be able to replace "Who's been sitting in MY chair" - as said in Goldilocks and the three bears - by "Who's been bathing in MY bath" ... and have the question answered direct to our pdas.
