During a client evaluation last summer, I witnessed a married couple’s argument a television in the bedroom. I became invisible during their heated discussion and I felt compelled to intervene with an integration solution that is often overshadowed by cost and a limited imagination. The wife didn't want to have a large television on the wall or dresser because it interfered with her oasis vibe. The husband wanted to watch TV while she was in his arms. He preferred tv shows that make her bury her head into his chest. He wanted a loud surround system to feel like he was in the midst of the action. She wanted to see the beautiful mountains outside her window and hear the birds.

I felt like I was reliving a conversation my wife and I had a few years prior and I couldn’t contain myself, as I blurted out “I have a technology solution that might work. What do you think about…”?
