Think of a TV switching itself on when you say, “Hi TV, power on”. Or perhaps logging into your Facebook, Twitter and Gtalk accounts by merely staring at the TV screen. Sounds like science fiction to you? It is no longer sci – fi but reality thanks to face recognition software integrated in the next generation of smart TVS.

A smart TV today can help you do a lot more than the old box could do even a decade ago. You can have High Definition movie streaming coming over the screen from a website, or browse through a number of interesting apps, or even sit back and catch up with all the stuff that your friends put up on various social media sites.

The smart TV experience is so close to science fiction that the majority of the masses have yet to realize that its no longer sci-fi but reality. Watching futuristic technology march into the home would make you wonder what’s coming next.

Its just a matter of paying attention to the next round of science projects under developement. Still I suppose we have some time to go before the gadgets in the house become so high tech that they begin resenting the humans that they serve.
