New televisions

The new technology can give us a little flavor of future TV. Sharp provide "double vision LCD TV", which can show two programs at the same time on the single monitor.

Toshiba developed a prototype system which offers an all-encompasssing 360-degree television experience on its massive convex screen.

Those new TVs may improve the relationship of family. No fighting for channels anymore!

The concept of TV

What is TV? Based on the online dictionary, it defines TV is “broadcasting visual images of stationary or moving objects” or “an electronic device that receives television signals and displays them on a screen”. TV is just an interface recreate “visual image”. In the other word, any thing can “delivery” visual image to a person, such as the chair of the movie “Matrix” having connectors plugging into brain or nervous system to stimulate images or create a virtual world, is kind of TV in the future?

What does a future TV look like?

I just keep thinking what a TV of the future would look like. We have already seen so many versions of the TV - right from the heavy, huge and tedious boxes to sleek, smart and sexy flat screens - and it's really difficult to tell what these machines would look like and what they would be capable of doing in the future. The physical movement of today's TVs is more or less restricted by a physical connection to a satellite antenna or a normal line-of-sight antenna. But I believe tomorrow's TVs would be standalone machines that just need to be switched on to see a program on them. Technology miniaturization can very well make it possible to cram millions of circuits onto silicon chips thus reducing the size of a TV manifold. The size of a TV would no longer be huge but very small, not any bigger than a cellphone, and at the same time it would facilitate transmissions through both satellite and the internet. People would be able to carry these TVs in their pockets just as they carry their cellphones or wallets. And the TV screens would be as thin as a cellphone sim card.

These TVs would be programmable just a like a PC, and all the Web/TV 2.0 activities would be possible. Now let's see a glimpse of a TV of the future, and a realization that technology innovation is aggressively powering rapid society transformation, and making the unimaginable imaginable.

I feel we are slowly moving to the TV2.0 generation. We are already in the News 2.0 generation .I have RSS feeds to most of the news websites. Can configure Google widgets to get news of my interest in my Google homepage like BBC, CNN, and Reify etc. I read some interesting news articles and news videos shared by friends in Facebook and blogs.

Most of the TV News channel like BBC has started putting some of their video content in their website long time back. Even some broadcasting companies have already started putting the content on the web. Check out the article Is the Future of the TV on the web People will start watching the programs from those companies based on reviews by different readers like your Facebook friends, tagging on social optimization sites like Digg 2.0, Delicious 2.0. Video Channels like youtube display most popular videos based on the no of views , user ratings , reviews etc. Therefore, I think the future will be TV 2.0 and then TV 3.0.
