Keep yourself cozy and warm with the latest technology like this Lian Electric Fireplace with built-in speakers. The call of most people today is to get all the form of ambiance that can be added to their homes and apparently this is one addition many would love to have.

Designed to warm you up on a gloomy, cold day, this electric fireplace from Lian is a smart combination of a fireplace and speakers. Showcased during the Hong Kong Electric Fair 2009, the electric fireplace delivers the sound of burning firewood, with the help of a built-in speaker in the back side.

That’s really cool to heat things up for a romantic evening, but it could have been great it offered support for the iPod or other audio players. Personally, I would love to go for the CalSpas FRP4300 fireplace that features a built-in iPod station and speakers.

We all hear about the fast pace of technology. We see it on how our children grasp the use of computers and one thing that we may soon see is that of modern furniture or study tables that offer a more private and sensual concept.

This internet terminal “Easy Net Space” reminds us of the Globus Artifort Workstation – it rather looks like a bad copy of the earlier, but we thought it deserves a mention for obvious reasons.

This one is actually meant for commercial use: for hotels and offices. The pod-shaped internet terminal is actually a nice one for internet cafes and offices. It features a 19 “TFT screen with integrated speakers, illuminated keyboard and optical mouse.

The terminal is available in three colors: red, silver and black with red upholstery. The design for sure looks futuristic, as they claim. The price is not yet known.
