Connectivity: Consumer Electronics Meet the Internet
By Steven J Keipert

Often, connectivity is referred to as a math or science term often concluded, as two points that transfer data to form a network as a final result. Internet connectivity is becoming increasing more popular as more consumer electronics offer these features. Technology is ever-changing and so are our lives we live; from past to present connectivity is changing the way we live whether we like it or not.

You may remember the traditional landline telephone, traditionally landline telephones traveled over a dedicated network to deliver telephone service to every home across the country. In recent years, a transformation to the internet now delivers most landline service in a digital format. Even though traditional landlines have given way to the new era of the mobile telephone. While landlines aren't quite as popular as they use to be, but this was one of the first services that started the connectivity era. Over time, mobile phones have risen to be the preferred telephone device of choice for voice communication.

In the late 1990's mobile phones became more affordable. The internet was in the infancy stage of being commercialized. Mobile providers saw a new opportunity for connectivity features by adding the internet as an option. In the early 2000's, connectivity to the internet and mobile messaging was slow initially, but rapidly propelled itself as the internet became faster and more capable of handling massive amounts data.

In recent years, the smart phone has revolutionized the way we describe connectivity as a feature. Connectivity now gives us our devices instant gratification and this is the way we communicate in the world today. Everything is about right now and today's smart phones are delivering this at a phenomenal pace including: voice communication, internet access, instant messaging, email box, calendar, voice memos, music, videos, pictures, GPS, and of course smart phone applications.

Often we can connect our electronic devices at home via wi-fi including: mobile phone, computer, tablet, DVD, Blu-Ray, Home Media server, cable receiver, satellite tv receiver, (DVR) Digital Video Recorder and High Definition Televisions.

Did you know you can access your Facebook account right from the television with DIRECTV? That's right, DIRECTV offers a new feature with their service that allows you to watch television and connect with you facebook without having to leave your seat.

Sony Blu-Ray players, Plasmas and LCD/LED Televisions, offer a wide variety of applications like: Netflix, Cinema Now, Hulu Plus, You Tube, Vudu On-Demand HD Movies, Qriocity, Pandora Internet Radio, USB Playback and Live Sports all from a single device connected via wi-fi or hard-wired to the internet.

A few months ago, I was playing with a DISH Network receiver that had Google TV. Google TV is awesome! Surf the internet and watch television at the same time. This was an amazing demonstration and by far the most attractive device I've seen with this type of connectivity on an electronic device since the tablet was introduced.

Don't worry about keeping up with changes in connectivity, because it will keep up with you and the electronic devices you enjoy.
