First came the tv....then the home computer...and they've stayed two different units. I have always wanted a tv with a full computer built into it. I really don't understand why we don't really have them yet. They have tv's with wifi..and some limited computing power....I wonder what the next step will be...maybe an android tv? Or how about Windows tv? How about standardizing cable box circuitry so you didn't ever need a separate cable box?...the circuitry would already be built in to the tv.
I'm pretty sure the technology is there. Basically, I'd like to take a giant melting pot, and throw in a tv, a full computer, a dvd player, my cable tv box and dvr, the cable modem, and wireless router....and sprinkle in a new OS designed to make all of it work seamlessly together. I'd have one unit with a power connection and a cable/satellite connection that functioned as the wifi hub for the house. Is that too much to ask?
