for the past dozen years, I have been a smart device user. It started with:
LG's Google TV (2013)
Google's Home Smart Speaker
BestBuy's Google Home Smart Speaker with Battery making this unit portable within my wifi signal
Lenovo's Google Home Smart Display
Coupled with strategically placed cameras, lights, appliances, locks; a home becomes, reasonably, intelligent.
All of these center around an Android framework.
For past several years, I have replaced ALL VGA/DVI displays in favor of smart TVs for OS use. In this use, I have a PC that provides an excellent viewing platform for the limited things I continue to do. And, the TV's display doubles for both broadcast content, and PC accessed content and use.
This arrangement and the intelligence it provides is a bit much for many non-technical people.
But this intelligence is about to see a major upgrade. This Tom's Report, if it becomes available to customers, has the grave potential of new TV envisioning for users. Review for yourself: "Google HOME TV Central"
Then, you imagine a TV with a camera (remember Laptops/AIOs components) that recognizes you and talks with you as it carries out your commands in home controls and actions; as well as your connections to all broadcast media when directed to. The need for a TV remote could/will vanish in the future. AND for those who continue to type information, merely connect a keyboard-mouse and enjoy the old world and new world on interactions with devices.
This home ability at our fingertips was unheard of even in the year 1999-2000. All of this in the span of the ages of your oldest grandkids.
A HOME Central control that I talk to control, add, change, or remove its intelligence by either directions to it OR in "Conversation" with it!
WOW!
