Remember when turning on a TV meant… just turning it on? Now it’s a full-blown negotiation. Boot up, connect to WiFi, no I don’t want to update, yes I still use HDMI, please just let me watch something. SmartTVs turned a simple joy into a UX nightmare.

My 4-year old niece thinks the very concept of a movie theater is the coolest thing in the world. To a child who has mostly experienced movies through SmartTVs and tablets, movie theaters sound like something made for royalty.

Pessoal esqueceu da época que SmartTVs não eram exatamente um conceito que existia :3
BTW foi o maldito DSi que me viciou no Twitter, o que é louco de pensar, internet podia voltar pra aquela simplicidade na qual um processador de 133 MHz e 16MB de RAM eram o suficiente

I -guess- it would be useful in devices that cannot use plugins (e.g. a smartTV) but if I was watching youtube on a TV I'd probably be plugged into my laptop or something.
Not a fan of smartTVs in general, I'd rather have a huge screen plugged to my laptop.

you can probably assume that all of the internet is doing this, actually. Also just your phone in general, internet or not. And your SmartTVs.

Just a few more years from "Microsoft and Sony have stopped making physical consoles and controllers. Games will now only be played on SmartTVs via streaming, using the worst, barely functional remote control ever made and you'll need to hack into cloud servers to preserve anything."

I discovered this recently, too. To the extent that Gen Zers and younger Millennials even own TV sets, they’re almost always SmartTVs with internet capability but no actual tuner, so the idea of over the air TV is meaningless to them.
Related: This week I discovered that there's a whole generation that doesn't know what "network TV" is. They call it all "cable" because that's what linear TV is on, as opposed to streaming. So maybe the distinction has become meaningless.
I know nobody thinks about network TV much these days, but ABC announcing a 22-hour fall prime-time schedule with only four and a half hours of scripted comedies and dramas feels like a white flag. They just don't know how to do this anymore.

Trying to explain to my older relative that SmartTVs aren't actually smart and that yes, after a while apps on them just stop working. They look like capitalist society has just backstabbed them at the idea of products and apps being made to be obsolete barely 10 years later.
