Google T.V.

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…

About Jesse Zylstra

Hey! My name is Jesse Zylstra, and I am the administrator of this website. I used to write about free software and programs, online web applications, and new technology -- especially open-source. Now I just write udder nonsense. I also play pipe organ, which I'm told is a fun and interesting fact about me. In the past, I studied network administration. Now I've been trying to pursue a real fake bachelors degree for the last, oh, 10 years or so.
