Over the last six months, we’ve had a major remodelling project continuing at home – a full height extension to add a new master bedroom upstairs and a play room downstairs for the kids. With all of the building work taking place, I took the opportunity to review and subsequently upgrade a lot of the technology in the house. Having spent some time planning the upgrades, and now that the project is complete, it’s interesting to look back to see some of the major changes I’ve made on the technology front.

Whether these reflect major global tech trends, I’m not sure, but there are a number of shifts I’ve made this year that may help you think about the kit you want in your home in 2013.
