In the 21st Century...Why are we still repairing appliances?

Where is my  HAL (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer)?

Last week my 9 year old dryer broke down.....ordered the parts, the belt, new idler pulley and a replacement bulb (not needed for the workings just wanted to see inside the dryer)...now the dry is working but a few days later my 6 year old dishwasher stopped working.
Ugh! this will be the third electronic control board in 6 years.

Thankfully, I married a geek, handyman, grease monkey of a man. He can fix anything around the house as well as my 17 year old Jeep :) That is why i married him.....LOL
Not like myself, I have duct tape, I will fix it!

From the movie and novel of the same name : 2001: Space Odyssey, they had sentient, Hall 9000, He would foretell of a break down in the ship's communication ( but of course that was not case).

I want a Hal 9000, not a murderous one but one that will foretell of a break down among all of the appliances and electronics in my house .
I want advance notice of a break down so that i can ensure of parts being ordered or set up an appointment with a repairman ( hubby or an actual one).

It can not be that hard to invent a Hal 9000 for the home.
I know Microsoft has a home of the future but i can not wait nor can i afford the price tag. I do not need my kitchen counters to light up and tell me how to cook...that should be already be completed by the virtual chef and on the table...LOL

I want a little Hal 9000...not a VW size as in the movie.
I would gladly dedicate a full wall to a Hal 9000 in my house.

Check it daily as I drink my coffee and smile, all is okay for today, go on and enjoy your day!

Hubby, when you read this, please implement this, have a wall in the kitchen with nothing on it...start laying those wires and writing the code for the Hal 9000 or in my case Mar 21st Century :)
