The Digital Living Room - What???
August 18, 2011
I saw a reporting piece yesterday on Bloomberg TV about the "Digital Living Room". It was an eye opening piece about digital electronics and the changes that are occurring. Innovators are developing ways to convert video games, movies and just about every electronic gadget into being compatible for viewing on your digital television. The "digital living room" seems to be referring to a space in your home where all of these "streaming technologies can be and will be enjoyed,
What dawned on my consciousness was that home buyers have added the location of the flat screen TV to a needed requirement for the home they might want to purchase. I actually had experience visitors to open house expressing this need. They look around at some of the homes and comment "There is no place to put my flat screen (sometimes very large) television."
Many homes built in the 1980s and 1990s and even the 2000s had wonderful media cabinets so that all the Nintendos, x boxes, TVs and stereo equipment.
Today's flat screen TVs no longer fit inside these cabinets. It has also become popular to hang them on the wall like a painting - but there must be a wall that is viewable from the sofa. So add a wall for the flat screen to the granite counters and stainless steel appliances.
