"When does a new device cease to be a gadget and become a useful technology? A la carte TV, intelli-gent toasters, self-replenishing re-frigerators, and radios that play only favorite tunes and programs: At what point does fiction become reality? When does society step over the threshold into the age of digital lifestyles? Those who track the trends, and Oregan Networks Ltd. is one of them, say the time is now."
"Wireless technologies are extending their reach into daily life, with products like mobile phones, wireless headsets, remote car keys and more now commonplace in many homes. Untethered digital technologies have taken less than a decade to achieve widespread adoption."
