It looks like LG has decided to get into the domestic technology space. Right now its vision of that has 4 rather vague components (as described here):
- Convenient Life
- Safe Life
- Pleasant Life
- Comfortable Life
Never mind that the last two seem like synonyms, their Flash demo (click the links on the left to see the demos, and use the back button to go back) seems to imply that a Home Network will be really good for getting email in every room and using the phone as a kind of super remote control.
[As an aside, this Flash is an interesting cultural artifact in terms of what it unintentionally communicates about its makers more than the ideas it's trying to sell: check out the implication of pirated MP3s and watching porn, not to mention the, uh, traditional gender roles. Or maybe I'm just projecting. I don't know.] ;-)
[Update: just looked at the 2001 copyright date--I suspect LG has changed their home strategy by now. Sorry. The Flash demo is still funny, though.]
