Information Technology Blog:- First, there were smart phones – now, smart televisions. What are these devices and why do I need one? A little over 10 years ago, HDTV was new and all the rage, but today it is commonplace. Walk into any large store featuring consumer electronics, check out the TV section, and see how many non-HD televisions are on display. You will discover that it is almost impossible to buy a TV today that is not HD. Most likely, the same trend will emerge in smart TVs, and with good reason. Smart devices, including TVs, phones, computers, and tablets can share photos, videos, movies, TV shows, and other data, through a common network, creating a more enjoyable user experience while eliminating a ton of frustration.

In addition to the TV watching that you are used to, you can expand your world of entertainment by connecting your TV to the internet. Because your TV can now communicate with any compatible device, such as a laptop, through a wireless network, you can stream an endless variety of content, including movies, videos, and special productions. You can control your TV through your computer or smart phone; or in some cases, by speaking to it or using hand gestures. This makes it easy to check the guide and to schedule future entertainment, which can be stored on the DVR or in the memory of other devices.
