Linksys Proves Wireless Networking Not Only For Tech-Savvy Consumers
In Thursday’s post, Emily wrote about how consumers are spending approximately 10% more on electronics this year, and are expected to spend even more in 2009. These stats don’t surprise me in the least.
WebUser tells us that according to a recent Linksys survey, 3 out of every 5 broadband customers in the UK now have a wireless network at home, and that of these wireless households, 87% have a computer and/or laptop connected to the wireless router.
Chris Dobrec, director of Linksys Strategy and Business Development, says that “The research shows that wireless networking is now a mass-market technology and not only for the tech-savvy consumer.”
The Linksys survey also showed that nearly 100% of those who responded had a PC or laptop at home, 69% had a digital music player, 57% had a DVR/PVR, 58% had a games console, such as Nintendo, Wii, etc., and 15% had a wireless/digital photo frame.
With wireless-digital picture frames becoming more and more popular by the minute, I would take an educated guess and say that that percentage will be rising, and rapidly, too.
The wireless homes will surely take advantage of the connection to purchase a wireless digital picture frame, while less tech-savvy homes will be delighted with their digital frames.
