   Yes -- despite my rejection of the wired home in general, the wired   
   home as a medical appliance [1] could indeed make sense in some cases.   
      
   [1] One of my colleagues at work had a Really Big Monitor to   
   accomodate her visual problems. Closed caption was developed to   
   accomodate hearing problems. Some of these have migrated to computers.   
      
   A wired home to help some individuals with daily tasks could also be   
   seen as a form of  accomodation, rather than medical equipment as   
   such.
