<h3><strong>How High Tech Home is Your Home?</strong></h3>
<p><br /> If the  latest technology or entertainment options are important in your new  home, add the following questions to your buyer’s checklist. <br /> <br /> <strong>1. </strong>Are there enough jacks in every room for cable TV and high-speed Internet hookups? <br /> <br /> <strong>2.</strong> Are there ample telephone extensions or jacks? <br /> <br /> <strong>3. </strong>Is the home pre-wired for home theater or multiroom audio and video? Does it have in-wall speakers?<br /> <br /> <strong>4.</strong> Does the home have a local area network (LAN) for linking computers?<br /> <br /> <strong>5.</strong> Does the home already have wiring for DSL or another high-speed Internet connection?<br /> <br /> <strong>6.</strong> Does the home have multizoning heating and cooling controls with programmable thermostats?<br /> <br /> <strong>7.</strong> Does the home have multiroom lighting controls, window-covering controls, or other home automation features?<br /> <br /> <strong>8.</strong> Is the home wired with multipurpose in-wall wiring that allows for reconfigurations to update services as technology changes?</p>
