My last year at Disney Animation, three years ago, I caught a story board screening of Meet the Robinsons.
The story is an animated version of the new classic children's book A Day With Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce. It's exciting to see the movie finally out in theaters later this month. Full of futuristic gadgets, crazy characters and all the things you could only dream of, including a home full of technology.
If you had any doubt that the future isn't here, today, tune into the NBC's Today Show for a special segment they're calling "Home of the Future. Scheduled to air Thursday at 7:40am, they'll be highlighting the major new trend of “intelligent furniture.”
One such piece includes Sligh’s Family Communications Center, capable of housing, docking and recharging various home electronic devices as well as organizing and storing a busy family’s schedules, appointments, books and mail.
The Center was introduced last October at the High Point Market. According to Yahoo Tech News:
"[Sligh's Family Communications Center is] a nice-looking desk and hutch piece that comes in many finishes; all have built-in surge protectors with lots of outlets to handle laptops, printers, cell phones, cameras, as well as providing a place for keys and mail. The price for this stylish organization and charging center: Between about $3,000 and $3,300."
Set your Tivo! And get ready for an organized future.
