The Future of Washing Machines (Electronics)

posted on 11 Sep 2008 18:50 by momochiji  in Electronics
Washing machines have been around for many years, there have not really been too many innovations since that time, the most likely probably having to be the combination of both the washing machine and the tumble dryer. But carefully watching the Electrolux Design Lab contest over the last few weeks (the Electrolux Design Lab is basically a yearly contest whereas students can show off there kitchen appliances inventions and designs). I have seen a great innovative idea coming to light, which also comes with a catchy name the "iBasket". iBasket is a washing basket as well as an innovative self activated washing machine.

The iBasket has ultimately taken its name from the widely popular iPhone, as it has the capabilities of wifi access and artificial technology. So now we will take a closer look at how this technology puts itself to work.

Basically the item is a wash basket basin; as we all know we place our dirty laundry into a basket and then either once or twice a week wash the dirty items of clothing. What this basket does is also acts as a washing machine, it has various sensors around the basket and when the clothes reach a certain height, the lid automatically shuts and a wash cycle starts. Once the wash is complete you will then be notified via wifi, so basically you can carry on with your everyday jobs while you do your laundry.

So with a great unique concept such as this, it begs the question of, what does the future hold for washing machines? Well this is not the first concept I have seen as of late. I have seen a washing machine that instead of using water it washes the clothes with natural rock extracts, therefore making it very environmentally friendly. I have also come across a soap nut washing machine, which does not use detergent but rather uses a soap nut extract which again is very friendly to the environment.

But these pieces of technology never seem to catch on, I think the real reason is because society does not want or need washing innovations. They are happy with the way that there washing machines clean and refresh clothes, so in the short term I do not think that there will be any major shift in the way we use washing machines, but who knows what we might see in the next coming years.

Gone are the days when a dedicated firewall is sufficient to fend off hackers from cooperate networks. Unified Threat Management (UTM) is an emerging trend in the network security appliance market. Always on the cutting edge, ZyXEL's ZyWALL 5 UTM is capable of outperforming the current ZyWALL 5 by up to 20 times with just a ZyWALL Turbo Card. This new technology introduces a new all-in-one network security device that provides content filtering, anti-virus, anti-spam and intrusion detection services traditionally handled by multiple systems. 

From a business perspective, IT managers should consider an "enterprise approach" for comprehensive security. They can now utilize all-in-one appliances, such as ZyXEL's 8-in-1 UTM solution, for solid protection and performance. All of the following features are now offered in one box and controlled through a single unified interface: Anti-Virus, IDP, Anti-Spam, Firewall, VPN, Load Balancing, Bandwidth Management and Content Filtering. 

Take advantage of secure protection from virus attacks, hackers, and spam. Imagine, no more worrying about spyware, adware, or other potential threats to your computer and valuable data. Make the Internet safe for your PCs and Network. 

In an increasingly complex network environment an integrated UTM device provides streamlined management efforts, easy installation, and multiple layers of network protection.
