Firmware in Everything

If you think John Connor is just battling big kill-bot machines, think again.  Computers are in everything.  Think about this- I have a Sony A-mount lens for my Sony NEX-3 that needs an adapter to mount up to the NEX' E-mount.  Most think of an adapter as a ring, with different types of connection on each side, to bring similar but different things together,  There is no glass, no real anything except mounts.  BUT...

In order to make this work, you have to update its firmware.  So it has it's own little computer inside.  Think about it...
