The backbone of the "connected" home will clearly be a computer of some sort. This computer (or "home services gateway" as I've heard it called) won't be a desktop PC that crashes when you install new software or gets infected by a virus every time your children download a new game from the Internet.
It probably won't need much of a graphical user interface (GUI), if at all. It won't even need to be very powerful. There's no reason why the obsolete computers of tomorrow can't be transformed into stable Linux servers for the connected home.
