ashburnskinsfan Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 According to a new study by the Arlington-based Consumer Electronics Association, the average U.S. household now owns 26 consumer electronics products and has spent $1,200 on products such as MP3 players, digital cameras and notebook computers over the past year. The top five most owned products identified were televisions (in 95% of households), VCRs (87%), cordless phones (85%), DVD players (81%) and wireless phones (78%). Satellite radio ownership reached 10% of households. http://www.ce.org/Press/CurrentNews/press_release_detail.asp?id=10989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashburnskinsfan Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 We have a little more than the average, but I thought we'd have a LOT more given that we're a gadget friendly environment. After all, the survey said that only 75% of homes have a PC or notebook. We have five in our house, and that's just the ones that work. But we only have three TVs, so maybe my HDTV purchase decision shouldn't be LCD, Plasma or DLP, but ALL three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm suprised that only 81 percent have DVD players... Nothing comes out on VHS anymore except possibly Blues Clues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
