Kids today have grown up with a display in their hand. Tablet to Phone. Their phone is a right of passage, this is mine, it's private. I can use it to tune out the world, and not be questioned what I'm listening to or watching. When I want to share, I can cast from MY phone. That remote, that's yours.

Parents grew up with a remote put in their hand. The remote is how they control their world. Buttons to press to get what they want.

Seniors cling to physical media. I want to take this that I bought, and enjoy it. They're being exposed to streaming because they've lost the ability to go shop for a new album, other than through Amazon, which is just as foreign to them.

Toddlers are being exposed to voice control. After all it's the first way they learn to control their environment. Cry, then mimic. They will question the need for light switches.

The network is NOW the home control system. Lighting control will be next, if the Unions ever allow POE lighting to standardize.
