Previously, On the Internet of Schmoid...
Last week, I blew through nearly seven hundred words to come to the inescapable conclusion that WiFi changed the world. That
Sonos was the first real example of how the Internet of Things was going to change the custom installation world. And all of that was really earth shaking news to all of you. But only if you haven't ventured out of your 1990's home theater watching endless loops of the Matrix in the last two decades. So, um yeah. Let's move on.
This week, I'm going to step out on a limb and make some actual hard core recommendations. Two to be precise:
Harmony and
Chromecast. Whether these are things that you should buy for yourself or not, that I leave up to you, but they should be part of the consideration set. The reason I'm going to focus on these two devices in not because they offer the best picture or sound or are even best in their class. What's more important it that they changed how people think about their entertainment control.
