It was only a few years ago that Real Estate agents and Builders were promoting the �Wired� feature as a must have when buying a new home. Wired meant that the home not only had cable running throughout it, but also Cat-5 wire. Cat-5 wire consists of four pairs of wire that are sheathed into one bundle, and is used for interconnecting multiple computers and computer peripherals throughout the home. Electricians went to great length to run Cat-5 throughout new homes, and homebuyers paid a handsome premium for it. Now the latest buzz from the Computer and Networking world is, �Unwire Your Home�, as the Computer/Internet world rapidly moves to wireless interconnections.
Remember to take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints.Once you�ve housed your components, the next most important choice involves your seating. Do you prefer watching movies in your home theater from the comfort of a recliner, cuddled with someone special on a couch, or from dedicated custom theater seating? Do you prefer seating covered with micro fiber fabric, microfiber suede, faux leather or premium leather? Does a home theater conjure up visions of kids with large tubs of buttered popcorn, beer and chips for the guys watching the big game, or romantic glasses of wine? Choose an easy-to-clean surface, and have sturdy tables close at hand to your seating.
There is still a benefit for some Cat-5 wire in the home, but without a doubt, wireless is the present and future technology for interconnecting home electronics. Definitely take a look at these products prior to paying any type of �wired� premium on a new home.
