Next-Generation home we will find a network of appliances that are linked to the Web through various non-traditional devices such as; PDA's, TV's, ovens, and phones. The Next-Generation home receives information continuously and effortlessly which makes it simple to receive updates to an electronic phone book or downloading e-mails from the office to a PDA. With the non-traditional devices linked to the Web, this makes the PC no longer the sole connection point within the network (The Network Home, 2006)
