Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos\u2019 personal AV tech controls the future of AV and doesn\u2019t even realize it<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 from ravepubs.com by Gary Kayye<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

But it dawned on me today that the future of our very own AV market may not be in the hands of any new product, new technology or even an AV company at all. In fact, there\u2019s likely one AV guy (or girl) out there, today, that controls the future of AV for all of us, but doesn\u2019t even know it, yet.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about Jeff Bezos\u2019 personal AV technician. Yes, that Jeff Bezos \u2014 the one who started Amazon.<\/p>\n

Follow my logic.<\/p>\n

The Amazon Alexa is AMAZING. Probably the most amazing thing since Apple\u2019s iPhone. And, maybe even more so. The iPhone was revolutionary as it was a handheld phone, an email client, notes taker, voice recorder, calendar, to-do list, wrist watch and flashlight \u2014 all in one. It replaced like 10 things I was using every single day. And I didn\u2019t even mention the camera!
\n…
\nAlexa seamlessly and simply connects to nearly everything you want to connect it to. And, it\u2019s updated weekly \u2014 yes, weekly \u2014 with behind-the-scenes Friday-afternoon firmware and software upgrades. So, just when you think Alexa doesn\u2019t do something you want it to do, she can \u2014 you just have to wait until an upcoming Friday \u2014 as someone will add that functionality. And, at any time, you can add Alexa SKILLS to yours and have third-party control of your Lutron lighting system, your shades and blinds, your HVAC, your TV, your DVR, your CableTV box, your SONOS, your home security system, your cameras and even your washer and dryer (yes, I have that functionality \u2014 even though I can\u2019t find a use for it yet). It can even call people, play any radio station in the world, play movie previews, play Jeopardy!, play Sirius\/XM radio \u2014 I mean, it can do nearly anything. It\u2019s squarely aimed at the average consumer or home application \u2014 all to simplify your life.<\/p>\n

But it could EASILY be upgraded to control everything. I mean everything. Projectors, digital signage networks, AV-over-IP systems, scalers, switchers, audio systems, commercial-grade lighting systems, rooms, buildings, etc. \u2014 you get the idea.<\/p>\n

\nBy the way, I wouldn’t be so sure that Bezos doesn’t realize this; there’s very little that gets by that guy.<\/span><\/p>\n
