Very nice.  So I suppose this means that someone is doing it already.  So 
much for my predictive abilities.  I guess I am better at postdicting than 
I am at predicting.  ;-)

In the future, I expect this sort of thing to be commonplace.  You can 
have a "photo" on the wall that will continually update you on what your 
grandchildren are doing.  This will be easy for the users at both ends.
