Reboot

I have spent most of my adult life using computers in one way or another. One of the easiest fixes when a computer locks up has always been ctrl-alt-del. I had never really thought of my car as a computer, but it was inevitable. Yesterday on the way back from lunch, my air conditioner quit working. Apparently the AC is computer controlled - it has a choice of manual operation or thermostat control. My associate suggested that I just needed to reboot to fix the issue. He was right. Got to the parking lot, turned the car off, turned it back on and got cold air.

I wonder how many other things we now use operate like a computer. My TV does. Obviously, most phones do. What else?
