Integrating Technology

The icy roads from last Tuesday and Wednesday's sleet didn't deter Audio Unlimiteds' David Goldenberg from coming up to Connecticut to present a Lunch & Learn on Integrating Technology Into Design. Technology has certainly changed in the past century. How many of you remember the reel to reel and the opaque projectors?
Now technology is part of all aspects of our lives: home, work, entertainment, retail, healthcare ... you name it. When designing there needs to be integration in every built environment to make use of current technology. Conference rooms should allow for video conferencing and presentations. Malls, stores and lobbies should provide for digital signage and touch screen information. Soon we'll be ordering from a touch screen menu in a restaurant and selecting new shoes from a screen.
It was also exciting to see that new technology doesn't require both CAT 6 and Coaxial wires to be pulled. It allows for greater compatability and less wire management!
