Distinctive Christmas: High-speed boost for a high-tech Christmas
Just a decade ago, few would have believed that the Internet would be lighting up so many gifts under the Christmas tree this Dec. 25 with once-unimaginable vibrancy, fun and potential. But thanks to constant innovation, Christmas shoppers this year have a plethora of gadgets and tools for home and personal use to choose from. And whether it’s technology for entertainment and play or to stay in touch with friends and family, there is a whole new level of wow out there.
For music, for example, there’s the next generation of MP3 players. They don’t just store and play music, they now also have touch screens and digital audio recording, cameras and video cameras. There’s also Wi-Fi-enabled MP3 players that let you connect to the Internet to download music and videos. Some you can even use to browse the web.
And then there are web cameras that also have powerful, clear audio capabilities and wireless network cameras that can be easily viewed and managed from virtually anywhere over the Internet for home security and monitoring.
To meet the needs of the growing number of people who are watching movies and videos or playing video games over the Internet, computer monitor manufacturers have ignited in recent years with innovation. They now offer consumers energy-efficient and elegantly designed monitors that provide a vibrant, high-definition picture. There are also large widescreen flat panel monitors that rival many a TV for that bigger picture experience. Why watch your favourite movie on a laptop screen when you can opt for a 30-inch monitor? Or how about a 3D monitor? And for those who want the best of both the TV and Internet entertainment worlds, there are now various products that allow you to stream content from your PC to your TV.
As well as technological innovation, there is also tremendous wow in creativity. Christmas shoppers looking for video games will find a great variety of them have breathtaking graphics, captivating plots and soundtracks worthy of the best feature film — as well as the capability to play with friends online.
Of course, one of the most popular gifts this year will likely be media tablets, which are expected to take over 50% of the laptop / Laptop Battery market by 2015.
All these gifts and many others this year have one thing in common: They truly come alive when they’re connected to the Internet. So when you are making your technology gift selection this holiday, make sure your new devices are powered by the fastest Internet at your disposal. That is an important factor Shaw recognizes and facilitates by providing unparalleled speeds from 50 to 250 Mbps, superior videostreaming, downloading, networking, gaming and multiple device usage without sacrificing any speed.
