Connected Life at CES 2009
Connected life technologies were at the heart of the Cisco announcements at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last weekend, but we were not alone. In addition to Cisco, companies such as Samsung, Sony and LG are streaming online content into the home through the television, providing consumers with access to libraries of online movies, music, photos and more.
By incorporating interoperable technologies that create a connected life, we will continue to live increasingly social, visual and personal experiences. For example, with Sony’s DSC-G3 Wi-Fi Cybershot camera, you can immediately share a photo with your friends on the web from multiple sharing sites.
Intel shows future connected life capabilities their technology can enable in the Mercedes Benz Smart Car with hovering WiMAX cloud for a constant connection.
The concept of living a connected life has the ability to become mainstream as companies work together to make it easy to implement. The Linksys by Cisco Media Hub, announced at CES 2009, is designed to make it easy to better manage personal technology and digital content. It gathers, organizes, and presents all the digital video, photos and music that is usually spread amongst various devices in the home.
Please, tell me what you think : ) How would living a connected life change your routine? In what ways would you like your online experiences to be more personal, social or visual?
