“The home theater has become the command center for the lives of many Americans in 2009,” states Marc Sculler, CEO of Bell’O International, a leading designer of A/V furniture and accessories. “It is one of the few places where decision makers, (business and personal) feel comfortable, in control and can think without the demands of their office life.” Sculler states that an increasing number of customers are informing him that their home theater areas have become progressively more important. It is where they absorb and focus their attention on current events, financial information, pop culture, entertainment and communications. More and more people use their laptops and other personal gadgets in their home theater area because they want to sit in one comfortable area to multi-task. PDAs. MP3s, cell phones are all lined up ready to assist with the action. “Americans are more than ever before glued to their TV screens since there is greater interest in politics, the stock market, financial and economic news, bailouts, bankruptcies and mergers, investment scandals, the war, and terrorist attacks. They want to be situated in one central area where they can work, exchange information and even relax. High pressured people want to turn on and off without too much effort,” remarks Sculler. “In this world of Internet speed and feed, most Americans find themselves overwhelmed. They are working longer hours just to survive. They can’t turn off when they are home because of the demands from the outside world. They need to be in the driver’s seat even when they are relaxing. The home theater is the best place to do this because they can enjoy themselves while dealing with immediate issues. Response time can be controlled to ensure people are not making panic decisions.” Being in the home theater business has given Sculler a greater insight into the lifestyles of today’s American. “We often hear that when a person experiences a lot of stress, a comfortable and inviting home theater area makes them feel more in control. It gives them the distance they need from everyday challenges and provides a better perceptive for big picture decisions.”
