Technology. Consumers have come to expect things to double and improvement and triple in improvement in sixmonth increments, just like they expect their ios to update every few weeks and a brandnew devices come in every year. The same kind of expectations are being driven into the home. People are looking for that kind of exponential increase in speed.
