Vizio has invented a television that has applications for the internet. One can be in front of their tv set and go on sites such as Twitter, Pandora, and Facebook without needing to be hooked up to a computer. The product comes with a full QWERTY keyboard so one can type just as they would on a regular computer.
This is an improvement for the industry. Everything is connected via a HDTV. Companies can advertise for something and a viewer can go straight to the internet and look up more information without moving. With this new technology, the future may be seeing less sales in computers, especially desktop computers.
This is a huge change for how people will access the internet. People won’t have to leave their seat to find out information, listen to music, and update their Facebook status. It allows the audience to multitask easier than before.
If one registers their TV with Amazon on Demand, they will have access to thousands of movies without having to download anything. This will be sure to change how people access their movies and may even cause video rental stores to be shut down. (http://hubpages.com/hub/VIZIO-HDTV-with-Internet-Apps-News-and-Review)
The book mentions how network television works with the internet to provide a greater attention span for the audience with something called made-for-online programming. Networks use the internet as a way to keep the audience interested in watching the show from week to week with behind the scenes clips and online voting. With Vizio’s technology people wont even need to look things up on the computer but rather they can watch these bonus clips right on their computer. (Media Programming, pg 332)
