Think the gas supply off
You can stop worrying about wether you have left the gas swithed on - new technology will allow you to 'think' it off.
The technology, shown at the Cebit Show in Hanover, interprets and responds to neural activity, so you can generate different signals by thinking in different ways. These signals can be used to control anything in your house, say Austrian developers G-Tec.
The system will allow you to switch on the tv, play music, open doors and windows, operate a camera - anything that can be operated electrically. G-Tec says it will be especially helpful for paralysed people trying to live independently.
It can also be used to control a Pocket PC and even to spell out words. But it dose require a bizarre helmet containing a number of electrodes - rather less elegeant than the thought-control gaming headset from Emotiv.
