It’s not as simple as it used to be. At one time, long ago, there used to be these wires that came out of the wall, and you attached them to the back of the phone and the TV and then just kinda forgot about them until the dog chewed them. (You also had to worry about pterodactyls, but that’s another story…)

Today’s home is a much more complicated place. Now it’s about data: Gigs and Terabytes. It’s about things you can’t see or touch. (But Bowser can’t chew, so that’s a plus.)

Data demands are always increasing, thanks to streaming music services like Spotify and video-on-demand services like Netflix and YouTube. Those and others have fundamentally changed the way families are entertained.
