When we talk about
T.Vs, one thing that cannot be denied is the lack of brain embedded in a
television .Though, we have moved from boxed T.Vs to latest smart ones. But,
each time, we need to have a source (DVRs, gaming consoles & Set- Up-Boxes)
to make T.V functional. In simple language, we can say that a modern television
wants your attention to make things going. It’s true to say that, a T.V works best, when
you own his mind. If you want to play latest high definition games, you need a
super rich gaming console or for watching latest season of 30 Rocks; set –up – box
can make your life going. Lately, there has been a sea change in the
technologies used in manufacturing a television set. The process started with hard
disk based televisions ( I guess, LG
was the one , who initiated the process), than super thin T.V start appearing
followed by LED, 3D & Smart T.Vs. Don’t forget to include Google T.Vs .
Till now, various technologies came to make television
sets, a must have part of our daily life. In 2011, you have seen the magic of OnLive service, Sony’s forgettable internet
T.Vs & Samsung’s Smart T.Vs. Now imagine, you are playing latest console
quality game on your T.V without taking help from your beloved consoles. Time
has come, when your television can think and deliver undiluted entertainment
activities without remote control. He’s the Boss, He’s the creator, and all you
need his attention. Recently, from all directions, one can smell something
cooking in Apple’s kitchen. The company
might unveil next generation T.V sets in the first half of 2012. After magical iPADs,
intelligent T.Vs was Steve Jobs last unfulfilled delayed project. On the other side,
Sony wants to revive dwindling Bravia
brand by launching its own range of Smart T.Vs.
What to expect ? The fate of intelligent
T.Vs will be decided by the innovative use of design & brain. If we go by
Apple’s past track record, than iOS
will power future T.Vs, for sure. The company might use its own ecosystem. Remember,
I was talking about brain in the very beginning, so future T.Vs from leading
manufacturers will take advantage of recent Smart Phone success. As Android is
gaining momentum in mobile ecosystem, Sony might end up using android operating
system. Reason? Their marriage with Google started with Sony Ericssion followed
by Google T.V and Tablet S.
So, we would like to
conclude by saying that many new technologies come and fade away. From ugly box
to slim trip one, this piece of technology always attracted retailers, consumers,
advertisers & creative lookers. The future rather belongs to all in one device , so bye - bye to next generation consoles. All I want is a full -fledged monster T.V.
