Zoom-in on for the home's multimedia solutions

At one time it was fashionable to distinguish brown equipment (audio and video appliances) computer called gray. When the first incarnation of the popular entertainment, the latter evoked a working tool for initiates. But over the years, brown and gray are mixed area, taking in each other what was best: the multimedia side, the digital one.

Today, this convergence is such that the computer largely democratized, became the leader of a band ever greater and varied, including WiFi is the theater.

Time is sharing: sharing files between computers, making available all of a printer, a centralized storage or backup supply as many Internet connections as necessary ...
