The Shot Heard Round the World
In a moment that sent shockwaves through the personal technology industry, Sonos CEO John MacFarlane told the BBC on Tuesday [July 18, 2006] that he thinks the 'digital home' is still a decade away from becoming a reality. This pointed comment was picked up by hundreds of electronic and print publications... and not a day after I was speaking with a client on why the concept of the 'digital home' is wearing thin. I'm quite familiar with MacFarlane's message - it's one TDG has been sharing with its clients for several years.
