Google, Intel and Sony are joining forces to bring us (drum roll, please) – “Smart TV”. This new deal is going to be unveiled at Google’s annual developer conference in San Francisco this week. Intel CEO promises, that [whatever this Smart TV is] will be as big a revolutionary change to TV as was color.
Smart TV… it’s safe to assume that Sony TVs will operate like a computer (hint: Intel) that will have a search engine device (ala Google)? So how will a device like a Smart TV fill a need? Are they trying to make us lazier? We can’t flip through the channels on our own? Or..(gasp) do something that doesn’t involve sitting on a couch staring at a box?
