Kitchens have an electric range replete with electronic controls, microwave oven, toaster, several food mixers, a dishwasher, fridge-freezer. A utility room has a clothes washer, dryer, freezer, vacuum cleaner. There are appliances for central heating, dehumidifying, and air conditioning. But all of these fancy pieces of equipment still only heat, cool, clean, blow, and mix!

VCR, CD, DVD Players
