Digital Home Entertainment Center
We anticipate that the entire home “entertainment center” will be digitized in years to come. In doing so, a person or family’s collection of books, movies, games, photographs, and music will be archived digitally, eliminating the need for the physical formats in the home. The various collections will be represented by application icons on a giant iPod touch screen and displayed in the person’s living room. In this regard, a digital library can be displayed by the touch of an “app”. While the books may all be in digital formats, the covers can easily be seen on display. When the user wants to choose a new book to read, they simply connect their own personal digital reader to their home entertainment center, and drag the desired book from the digital library to the reader. This is the future of digital archiving.
