Tecnologías de la vida cotidiana, creo que así se llama uno de los seminarios del IN3 de este año. Y qué más cotidianas que toda esta progenie de tecnologías multimedia que van de la música digital, el video digital, las tecnologías inalámbricas, etc
En el número de enero de Wired hacen un amplio repaso bajo el título Living Digital al nuevo hogar y ocio digital. Apenas he podido leer el tema central, Welcome to the Broadband Home of the Future, donde resumen tres tendencias presentes en nuestras casas:
1. The first is the rise of digital media. What started with the audio CD has suddenly become a clean sweep: DVD players now outsell VHS players, digital camcorders outsell analog versions, digital cameras outsell film cameras, and both digital cable and digital TV are poised to pass their analog counterparts in the next few years.
2. The second trend is a natural outgrowth of digital media: the home theater phenomenon. With the arrival of the DVD and its high-quality video and sound, consumers finally had good reasons to upgrade the rest of their home entertainment system. The result is a tsunami of wide-screen TVs, surround sound audio systems, and digital media devices. Today, 30 percent of US homes have a home theater.
Finally, broadband has reached critical mass in the home. With a high-speed, always-on connection came a fundamental change in the way people listen to music, play games, and watch the news. Broadcast TV viewership is in decline; young people - the all-important 18 to 34 demographic - are looking to the Internet for their entertainment.
Qué futuro veremos!!
