In response to the corporate priority of collecting new technologies, the Collection and Research Branch identified in December 2012 (A. Adamek acquisition proposal) the theme of consumer culture as an area of focus. This device was collected for: technical innovation, research collection, and representation of type. Considered the peak of the video era, the late 1980’s and early 1990’s gave consumers a viewing experience which consisted of technologies made up of laser discs, Beta, and Super VHS plugged to a high end stereo receivers/speakers. The sought after result, an audio and visual experience similar to what one would obtain by going to the cinema. The home theatre boom of the 1990’s provided consumers with several options, the status quo, converting their current systems to home cinema / home theatre, or purchasing entirely new home theatre systems specific to the home TV. Concurrent with this was a marked increase in home computer usage and purchases, appearance of the internet and cell phone – technologies which would evolve at feverish rates. In the 2000’s, classic “home theatre” had given way to “home entertainment”. Its myriad options and permutations allowed gaming consoles plugged to the TV to become multi-media hubs allowing DVD’s to be played, on-line gaming, and on-line streaming. The home theatre craze progressed from the immersive home theatre 3D audio-visual experiences and consumers owning the technology and the media to now obtaining multi-media via on-line streaming, and from a variety of sources. The question now is about access, not ownership.
