The Internet-ready TV is really amazing. I have one. Connected to it are a multitude of devices, each of which is also Internet-ready: The Blu-Ray player offers apps, Google’s Chromecast offers apps, the TV itself has apps, and I’m soonly obtaining Google’s Nexus Player, which offers apps. The kids want me to connect an Xbox One or Playstation 4, both of which offer apps, but I’m reluctant.
The TV is so Internet happy that when the Wi-Fi signal proved too weak, I crawled into the attic and hard-wired the TV with an Ethernet cable outlet. And, naturally, I had to add a hub to connect several other Internet gizmos as well.
Now comes this: Apparently your Internet-ready HDTV is doing more than showing you Netflix and Hulu. Yakov Smirnov joked that “in Soviet Russia, TV watches you.” Apparently, in the United States, Internet-ready TV watches you as well.
