The story of a hybrid: TVs are getting smarter every day! samsung smart tv
Years ago, when I was a teenager, a debate arose that never failed to irritate me. The first rumors occurred in my later childhood, when my best friend was banned from watching the cartoon series ‘The Mask’ because he was, according to his parents’ damning accusation, “an idiot”. The debate raged for many years thereafter, becoming so hackneyed as to be all pervasive, suggesting that television was childish, stupid, insipid… and other adjectives as well. The prevailing idea was that television was not intelligent. But guess that? Is now. Introducing the Samsung Smart TV.
For a few years now, certain sparks of light have been incorporating computer technology into absolutely everything. Although this was also the case in my childhood, it is only with modern developments that what constitutes computer technology is better defined for someone who grew up on comic books and reruns of 1960s spy series. described as a ‘robot’ and I was bitterly disappointed. I remember traffic lights once being described to me as a ‘supercomputer’ and I almost burst into tears from the frustration of it all. My heroes lived in a high-tech paradise powered by computers and populated by robots… why the hell couldn’t I?
So yes, as I was saying, the computing technology embedded in devices like mobile phones has directly led to the birth of the tablet PC, similarly the new availability of television and movies on the Internet has led to the creation of the Samsung Smart TV. .
What makes the Samsung Smart TV the kind of device that could grace Captain Kirk’s living room or Bruce Wayne’s Batcave? Well, inventiveness and shameless future aside, the Samsung Smart TV blends the desktop PC with the family TV. Not only does this save space, but it’s also extremely useful for playing content downloaded from the internet (I’m assuming you did it legally and then left it up to you). The Samsung Smart TV features crystal-clear picture and sound, as you’d reasonably expect from something this cutting-edge. The Samsung Smart TV also comes complete with a built-in operating system and can be run as a smartphone or tablet.
It seems that in my life I could very well see the bright and exciting future that I dreamed of as a child. I can still don a silvery all-in-one jumpsuit and pilot a flying car around the rings of Saturn (although, I doubt the suit will be in any way complementary to my wizened ‘Prussian’ physique by then). But for now I think I’ll settle for a Smart TV. Therefore, the argument that television is stupid can be, at least partially, dismissed. TV content may be dumber than ever, but at least the machine itself is smart. Although, to be fair, the arrival of Samsung’s smart TV does raise worrying possibilities that the people who watch TV are smarter than they are. When Skynet releases one, I’ll be out of here.
