It seems that very little electronics wise can't either be hooked up to the Internet and/or have a USB based plug and play aspect to it.
Right now, I have three major components on my home theater rack; a receiver, regular DVD player, and a Blu-Ray player in the form of a PlayStation 3.
I am thinking it is only a matter of time before the receiver as we know it, becomes a fully integrated hub for everything. With the ability to store HD content on something as small as an Ipod, the time will come when one piece of electronics might do everything and separate components will not be necessary.
Of course, that might be a while away, and the technology in question for such universality will be expensive at first as most new technologies tend to be, but is it a stretch to think that one day in the future home electronics and even computers will be so integrated as to be not to dissimilar from the main computer on the Enterprise from Star Trek?
I digress to say that after reading a review for a 2000 dollar Denon Blu-Ray player that separate components still have their appeal and are not about to disappear quite yet.
