Home futures : living in yesterday's tomorrow
The home of the future has long been a topic of fascination in popular culture and an intriguing prospect for designers, and the 20th century offered up countless visions of the future of domestic life, from the aspirational to the radical. Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanized home or the notion that technology might free us from the home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation. But what happened to those visions? Are the smart homes of today and patterns of use in the sharing economy the future that architects and designers once predicted, or has the home proved resistant to radical change? 'Home Futures: Living in Yesterday's Tomorrow' explores different approaches to reinventing domestic life, tracing the social and technological developments that have driven change in the home. The first comprehensive survey of the 20th century's aspirational, radical and futuristic visions of the home, this richly illustrated publication showcases a range of ideas and plans for the future from the prescient to the fantastical that designers produced as they imagined new ways of living at home and on the move, independently and collectively, with more and with less.

Who's Buying Information and Consumer Electronics
The seventh edition of Who's Buying Information and Consumer Electronics is based on unpublished data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2013 Consumer Expenditure Survey-you can't get these data online. It examines how much Americans spend on information and consumer electronics by the demographics that count: age, income, high-income households, household type, race and Hispanic origin, region of residence, and education. To round out the spending picture, it also presents who-are-the-best-customers analyses of the data, showing the demographics of the best and biggest customers at a glance. The items examined in this report include cell phone service, computer hardware and software, books, digital book readers, video games, televisions, newspapers and magazines, audio and video streaming and downloads, etc. Also in this edition is a unique analysis of spending before (2000 to 2006) and after (2006 to 2013) the Great Recession.

Modern Radio Signals Filtering Devices Methods, Technologies, and Structures
This comprehensive book covers spectral analysis theory for radio signals and innovative devices designed for filtering electromagnetic waves across diverse frequency ranges. The book features 14 chapters that explain the working of devices utilizing surface and bulk acoustic waves. The chapters provide insights into acousto-optical and acousto-electronic Fourier processors' design principles, description methods, and characteristics. The inclusion of algorithms for multi-channel frequency discriminators enhances the precision of radio signal frequency measurements, ensuring stability in tracking frequency meters amidst intense interference. The book also includes mathematical modeling and experimental studies of waveguide microwave filters and X-band multiplexers, specifically tailored for non-pressurized radio electronic equipment in space communication systems. Notably, the book introduces readers to a compelling alternative to conventional filters: 2-D periodic structures in the form of thin perforated metal meshes that offer compact solutions for millimeter and sub-millimeter wave systems. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the development of highly selective microstrip filters, incorporating complex topological structures with limited resonators and numerous couplings. This approach allows for the formation of numerous attenuation poles at finite frequencies, facilitating the achievement of high electrical parameters and compact filter sizes. Engineers and scientists specializing in communication systems design and analog Fourier processors will find a wealth of well-established and original solutions within this book. Readership Communications engineers and technicians who require an understanding of modern radio signal filtering devices and technologies.

Threshold
An urgent and cautionary examination of the totalizing
effect of smart home technology on the lives of those who live in
them—and those who don’t Smart homes are
here—domestic spaces bristling with networked technologies
that appear to enhance work, entertainment, logistics, health,
and security. But these technologies may also extract a cost in
attention, money, and privacy. In
Threshold , communication and technology expert Heather
Suzanne Woods applies rhetorical theory to answer the urgent
question of how swiftly proliferating smart homes alter those who
inhabit them. Building on extensive research into smart homes in
the United States, Woods recounts how smart homes arose and
predicts the trajectory of their future form. She pulls back the
curtain on the technology, probes who is in control, and
questions whether a home can be too smart. She reveals how smart
homes incentivize ubiquitous computing as a daily practice,
priming smart home occupants for permanent transactional
existence largely controlled by corporate interests. Woods
suggests a dynamic cultural framework for understanding smart
homes that takes into account sociotechnical variables such as
gender, class, income, race, criminal justice, and more through
which smart homes shape human life. Woods’s framework
reveals how smart homes both reflect social norms about
technology as well as whet consumer appetites for an ever more
totalizing relationship with technology. She argues that this
progression leads to “living in digitality,” a
cultural state of constant use and reliance on technology.
Written for homeowners, policymakers, technology enthusiasts, and
scholars,
Threshold interweaves meticulously researched critical
analysis with matter-of-fact graphics that map relationships
between digital tools and social life. Readers will appreciate
this bracing assessment of smart technologies that empowers smart
home users to make informed decisions about their
dwellings.

The mediating effect of customer trust of E-WOM and online customer reviews impacting purchase decision of household electronic products at a marketplace: evidence from Indonesia
This study aims to evaluate and assess the impact of online customer reviews and electronic word-of-mouth on consumer trust and how these factors influence consumers' decisions to purchase household electronic products on A marketplace. The study employs a quantitative path analysis methodology. The study population consists of A marketplace users in East Java who have made household electronic purchases on the platform and are at least 17 years old. Purposive sampling was used to obtain the sample, which was collected via questionnaires. Two hundred fifty people responded to the online survey using Google Forms. To test the hypothesis in the research model, respondent data were processed using Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that consumer trust is greatly influenced by electronic word-of-mouth and online customer reviews, and purchase decisions have a significant impact on consumer trust. The following factors significantly influence purchase decisions: electronic word-of-mouth, online customer reviews, electronic word-of-mouth through consumer trust, and online customer reviews.
