Not long ago, technology in the home was carved up into well-defined territories: The PC ¡ª care of Microsoft, Intel, Dell, and the like ¡ª presided over the home office. The television and stereo were king and queen of the living room. These days, though, the digital revolution is shaking up that comfortable ease. (26)With the advent of MP3 music files, personal video recorders, game machines, digital cameras, and a host of other media and services, it¡¯s no longer clear who controls which bit of home floor. And that has set off a battle for dominance in home entertainment.

The shake-up covers the technology spectrum. Microsoft Corp. is spending billions on entertainment initiatives such as its X-box video game comfort. Compaq Computer Corp. and Hewlettª²Packard Co. sell MP3 music players that plug into home-stereo systems. Philips Electronics sells a stereo that hooks into a high-speed Internet connection to play music from the Web.

Consumers are getting the message. (27) Sales of many of these devices should take off this year and next: U.S. shipments of MP3 digital music players for listening to songs downloaded from the Net are expected to jump by more than 50% this year, to 7 million units, according to researchers International Data Corp. Sales of personal video recorders, such as TiVo, which let you record TV shows for later viewing, should nearly triple this year in the U.S., to 2.2 million units.

Even high-definition television(HDTV) ¡ª the durable Next Big Thing ¡ª may soon take off. (28) By the end of 2003, nearly 6 million U.S. homes should have HDTV sets, and by yearend, some 7.7 million American homes are expected to have networks to tie their digital gear together, with strong growth spurred by a new standard for wireless links called WiFi.

Call it the next big wave of technology. (29) After the PC era and the Internet Age, many consumers have grown comfortable with tech: Two-thirds of U.S. homes own PCs today, while 60%  have Internet access, according to researchers Gartner Dataª²quest. To reach the rest of the market, technology companies need to build simpler devices that offer more entertainment. (30) And these new machines need to work together as readily as stereo components do today, and should be nearly as easy to set up and use as a telephone or a television. That is leading to the consumerization of technology over the next five to ten years. The future is about MP3 players, digital video, and the like.
