3 A day in the connected life. Baby, you look fabulous. With a nursery cam connected to video screens around the house, watching the baby becomes the best thing on TV. Busy morning. Watch the news, check the markets and read while moving from bedroom to kitchen to den. You re multitasking in a bathrobe. Say goodbye to the house. The house turns off the lights and dials down the thermostat. Splash! While the girls play in showers too fun to miss, the DVR saves their favorite TV shows. Share an awesome adventure. A digital scrapbook of the kids at summer camp makes distant relatives feel a lot closer. How homework works. A kids Internet radio station streams through the speakers. Last night s TV shows run on the fl atscreen. Cool toys in your own room makes studying a lot more fun. Men don t cry while watching sports. Unless they re chopping onions. Pause the game on the kitchen TV; go find a towel. The first rule of vacation. Don t worry. Check the house through remote access, then pull on your fl ippers. The popcorn s ready. Start the movie. With one click of the remote, the lights fade down, the surround sound cranks up, and the excitement begins. The late show. Romantic comedy. Borrring. The kids sneak downstairs and watch a different movie in the den. Lights out at 11. Kids tucked in bed. Late news on the bedroom TV. The house changes the lights and thermostat to their overnight settings. Sweet dreams!
