Before the pandemic, 38 percent of Italians did not have a computer at home. To access the internet he used a smartphone, and that was enough. But the remote work, remote teaching, e-commerce and many other activities have led many topurchase of the first pc. A tsunami that started in the aftermath of the first lockdown, which completely redesigned the consumer market globally.

The computer has returned to the center of home technology. Who has obtained a PC workstation somewhere, who has bought larger apartments planning to work from home in the future, who has still left the city for a small center, provided it is well connected, where to embrace a different lifestyle.
The idea ofhome office it has brought a new awareness of the things around us. The design armchair, for example, must not only be beautiful but also comfortable, so that you can spend hours sitting in it without risking back pain. Thus a historical name in office furniture such as Herman Miller allies itself with Logitech, giant of hi-tech accessories, for a line of ad hoc seats. On the other hand, companies that until now had only home furniture in their catalog have rethought their production in view of the home office, and so dining tables become work desks, complete with cable grommets and supports for computers and tablets. Switching between uses is even easier with accessories. Like the Boby trolley by B-Line, designed by Joe Colombo in 1970, which becomes a container for battery chargers and cables, to be hidden in the drawers, while the new wooden or cork shelf is useful both for writing from the sofa (always inadvisable), both to accommodate the tray with tea.

Light, air, sounds: the home atmosphere has its own special characteristics, and they are not always ideal. So on the one hand we try to make the home environment healthier, with lamps, purifiers, humidifiers, essence diffusers. On the other hand, the focus is onisolation: first step, a speaker that plays your favorite music, and if that’s not enough, noise-canceling headphones to better withstand the noisy neighbor. Dyson goes further, and introduces Zone, a hybrid between a pair of ANC headphones and an air-purifying mask. At the moment it is not yet for sale, but in a few months it could make the happiness of those who love humanity as an abstract concept, and yet prefer to put a certain distance between themselves and other human beings. Distance that for some is an integral part of the profession: not only those who work remotely (teleworking or smart working), but also those who transform the guest room into a recording studio, and from there introduce themselves to the whole world, at least potentially. As we explain in the next article, in live streaming every detail is important; a good chair, a hi-tech desk, a computer above suspicion, a powerful webcam are not enough: even the microphone counts. For words and also for non-verbal communication, as is the case with the Razer Seiren Emote, which has a small display to show emojis and icons while speaking.

And above all, the fundamental Wifi connection: via mesh network, with the new Tp-Link Deco XE200 systems with Wi-Fi 6E, with a powerful and flexible router like the FRITZ! Box 7590 AX from AVM, or perhaps with a laptop with 5G connection, for example the D-Link DWR-2101.
To work anywhere, officially, but also to disconnect for a moment with sports and streaming TV series.
