Abstract

During these recent years, the development of digital technology in residential networking and connections; such as home appliances with their various forms of integration (internet cables, power cables, and network cables) has made a positive alteration to the interspatial relationship between appliances, furniture and the corresponding living environment. Furthermore, the interaction and communication between user and appliance has understood progressive changes. In the living room of our future home environment is a typical place that comprises the largest variety of such home appliances. This living space has become a haven for the family and a place for entertainment as well. The downside of the new technologies is the life expectancy of the product which is affected by a simple change or a new development of a medium related to the development of digital technology. An example of that would be the existing product which has to be replaced with a new product pertaining a new medium that matches the latest technology. The aim of this research is to offer a modularization of the electric appliances for family use that can settle such problems that deal with new technologies. It also proposes solutions, through modular home electronics which can deal with or reduce problems such as life expectancy and complicated cable networks in the home environment.
