'Jetson' Lifestyle May Not Be Too Far Away



IBM is working on several initiatives to make your home just as futuristic as theirs was.



For instance, there's an iron that reminds you to turn it off. There's an oven that not only cooks, but acts as a cooling device as well. And it can be remotely operated by a cell phone, mobile tablet or Web-enabled command center in case you get inadvertently delayed at work.



There's also the so-called "smart countertop," which posts a warning if two pill bottles on the countertop contain medicine that, if taken together, would lead to bad side effects.



IBM senior technical staff member Bill Bodin said the company is continuously working to make living more convenient and safer for its customers.
