lol the piano with the computer built into it.
It's funny how for the most part, houses haven't got any of that stuff. I'm in a house that was built in 2008, and it has something like 5 RJ45 jacks, none of which are in particularly good locations for anything except maybe hooking up a TV.
Most smart home things have fallen flat on their faces. About the only 2 things that have come together are smartphones, and that kid using the computer at the piano would have been using a tablet instead. The connected TV thing barely works, if at all.
