<p class="answer">For media consumption I have a <a href="http://amzn.to/1W89F3e" target="_blank">Raspberry Pi 2</a> and a <a href="http://amzn.to/202yIXS" target="_blank">Google Chromecast</a> hooked up to a 40" <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001W3QUXK" target="_blank">Samsung Series 8 LED TV</a>. All the media is loaded onto a <a href="http://amzn.to/1ZxZGtF" target="_blank">Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra-4</a> with enough space to last well into the future. To control the TV and Kodi I use the awesome <a href="http://amzn.to/1ZxZN8t" target="_blank">Logitech Harmony 600</a> universal remote. I cannot recommend these remotes enough. The living room also houses a <a href="http://amzn.to/202zc0a" target="_blank">Sonos Play:5</a> for streaming music and <a href="http://amzn.to/202zdB3" target="_blank">Sonos Play:1</a>s in the dining room and kitchen.</p>

<p class="answer">A simple, light but fast computer that has access to the Internet from anywhere and acts as a WiFi-hotspot, even when closed. My mobile phone would be a combination of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_area_network" target="_blank">PAN</a>, the laptop and my watch. All powered with <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8297934.stm" target="_blank">nuclear batteries</a>. I'd also really love there to be a single movie and TV streaming service that provided all the world's content to anyone with a subscription and Internet access.</p>
