If your definition of computer includes microcontrollers then we indeed have computers embedded in about anything.

- sammax 6y ago> walls, tables, chairs, desks, clothing, jewelry, and bodies None of those routinely have microcontrollers in them. The closest are probably bodies (e.g. pacemakers) and maybe walls (e.g. smart light switches or power outlets with USB sockets). Jewelry with various computing devices exists but is hardly common and the only desks with computers in them that I know of are these gaming PC case desks that almost nobody has.
- m4rtink 6y agoI have an eymask with integrated Bluetooth headphones & motorized standing desks are controlled by a MCU. As for chairs - dentist chair setups are pretty sophisticated and include stuff such as built in panoramic xray device.
- sammax 6y agoSure but those things are not the norm. Or rather, motorized standing desks with microcontrollers are the norm for motorized standing desks, but not for desks. Same for dentist chairs, they are not the norm for chairs. Do they actually put xray devices directly into the chair? I always had to go into a special shielded room with an xray machine that slowly moves around my head.
- umvi 6y agoYes, but he picked the wrong "everything". Not "walls, tables, chairs" but "cars, phones, and tvs"
