Phones , GPS , computers … Do we really want to give Android the superpower to operate our washer - dryers and ovens and printers too ? Would someone hack them to nuke your underpants , wash your soup , and dry your pizza ?
It belike does n’t matter . I do it all the time . But better get used to it , because this is what we are getting soon :
This is the NIM1000 , an capacitive touch - raw Android - establish module that is designed to hold all sort of appliances . It has the necessary connection to plug into anything , from kitchen appliances , to printers , and enterprisingness desktop phones . You ca n’t purchase it , however : It ’s designed for manufacturer of these products .
Made by Touch Revolution , the NIM1000 module will be attest at CES in these appliances and convenience , showing what features they can get . The automatic washer dryer has sliding board touch - projection screen control , brand guide , and a means to rede the extraterrestrial symbols that come print in clothe ’s labels . The microwave oven , accord to Touch Revolution , “ doubles a kitchen control center , ” with widgets to play Pandora , show a photo of your dog , read the news , a World Wide Web web browser app , and timers for both the oven and the burner .
Do you need your microwave oven to be a kitchen command center while I play music and watch picture show of my firedog in it all mean solar day , while post for Gizmodo through the WWW browser app ? I do n’t lie with about you , but I ’ll be there like shareware .
Would n’t you ? Yes , this reminds me a bit of the sure-enough dot.com era , when everyone and their dogs put Java or Windows CE in every single thing out there . And we all acknowledge how that ended .
