Convergence is picking up momentum. PCs Used Increasingly as Entertainment Devices, 2nd Annual CEMA Survey Shows ARLINGTON, VA, April 14, 1998 - Faster access to the Internet and greater technological awareness have spurred today's multimedia PC owners to use their computers increasingly for entertainment purposes, according to the 2nd annual Multimedia PC survey released today by the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association (CEMA). "We were able to use a December 1996 survey as a historical benchmark for many of the questions we asked here," said Todd Thibodeaux, CEMA's senior economist and vice president of market research. "In just 14 months consumer awareness and use of multimedia plug-ins has jumped, and more than ever people are playing audio CDs through their CD-ROM drives. As more powerful processors, DVD-ROM drives, and speedy Net access become the norm, we expect PCs will continue to develop as consumer entertainment devices." cemacity.org
