Mobile and Wireless Mobile electronics and wireless technology have transformed communication. High-end car audio, security, navigation, and multimedia systems manufacturers are also taking advantage of the new digital technologies and making inroads in the mass market. Multimedia Multimedia products create an interactive experience for the user by combining sound, graphics, text, and video. The personal computer is the main delivery platform for multimedia products, although the digital TV will also offer a multimedia experience. Again, digital is the word to watch.
Digital cameras save digitized images in a memory cache, rather than on film.
Software plug-ins, which can be downloaded from the Internet, let users experience streaming audio and video applications on their PCs. And new video game consoles let players interact while playing games that include robust graphics and sound. This is the smart home. On the technical side, consumer electronics jobs are not much different from their counterparts in other electronics industries. There isn't any fundamental difference between designing the digital signal processing circuits for jet fighter avionics or for DVD players.
