“TV Meets Web. Web Meets TV.”
Google announced this month in their “Google Friends” newsletter a service soon-to-be offered called Google TV. Google TV is going to re-shape how we receive information through our televisions, taking the best of TV (namely the large screen and the HD) and the best of the Internet, and putting them together.
Google TV will be available both integrated with new televisions, or in an external box that will work with your existing TV.
Much as Google releases many cool things, here are the obvious cons (if you keep track of Google and their history…)
Targeted Advertising. By watching what you watch, ads will be more targeted than ever.
Bandwidth Usage, for those of us who live in areas where only monitored bandwidth connections are available, Internet TV is not an option.
All New Technology is bothersome, and imagine what it becomes like when your TV can do so much more, and becomes prone to crashing — or getting viruses…
