DiscoverTec Outlines Top Technology Investments

Jacksonville, FL – With new technology services and gadgets introduced every day, even the savviest consumers often need guidance on what trends to invest in and which ones to let pass by. Jacksonville-based DiscoverTec LLC is providing consumers with a guide to the top technology choices and sneak peak of what’s to come.

According to DiscoverTec Chief Executive Officer Donny Lamey, all of the top technology choices for consumers add convenience, enjoyment and flexibility to a person’s life. Lamey’s suggestions for technology investments include MP3 players and iPods, plasma televisions, personal video recorders, such as TiVo, and wireless technology, such as wireless satellite radio.

“Technology is designed with today’s consumers’ ‘on-demand’ lifestyle in mind,” Lamey said. “Items like TiVo give consumers control by transforming a television into an appliance and allowing the user to determine what they want to watch and when.”

Wireless technology, Lamey stated, frees consumers of the tethers that for so many years bound them to outlets and the location where they could conduct business or surf the Web. Now, thanks to the advances in wireless fidelity, or WiFi, Web users have more than 57,000 “hotspots” in 95 countries from which to access wireless broadband network services including in airports, convention centers and train stations.

“There are two kinds of technology users,” Lamey added, “the ‘early adopter’ and the ‘researcher.’ The early adopter gets all of the greatest gadgets before anyone else, while the researcher waits to see how a product performs before investing. There are technology services and gadgets on the market for both and both users will find the technology available today adds convenience and flexibility to their lives.”

A New control product that Lamey anticipants will make a big impression in the coming months is called OneHome. This technology allows a homeowner to interface and control low voltage subsystems like their home security, climate control, lighting, irrigation, entertainment, digital content like mp3s and movies from a touch screen. “This will change the way people control their homes,” Lamey said. “OneHome allows you to control music in your home, check voicemail, control lights and irrigation, surf the web, and arm or disable your security systems. In addition you can control all of these systems via the internet from anywhere in the world.” Now celebrating its 13th year in the industry, DiscoverTec LLC is a cutting-edge technology services company based in Jacksonville, Florida.
