Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast took place this day in 1938, causing near panic when listeners believed we were being invaded by Martians. Today, new ideas and innovations are everywhere and we thrive on what's new in technology. Do you love high-tech gadgets and space-age gizmos? Does your home have all the latest electronics? Here are two new offerings you'll want for sure. The first is a voice-operated dimmer light switch that activates three different levels of lighting, handsfree, for about $40. Great when your arms are filled with groceries. The second is a wireless-phone jack set that lets you put a phone or fax almost anywhere as long as there's an electrical outlet nearby. Plug the send unit into an electrical outlet and phone jack, and plug the receive unit in another outlet. It'll pick up calls without any wiring, all for only about $45. And that's the On The House tip for today.
