Technology is ever evolving. Who would of thought that you can tell your TV to turn to a channel and it will understand and recognize your voice. Who ever thought you could stream movies and data from your computer onto your TV screen or browse the internet. Smart TV's run on complete operating systems and have software that support it. Gaming systems like the PlayStation or Xbox have the same face and motion sensor technology that Smart TV's use. Although the concept of a TV being able to perform all these functions is ground breaking, it also has it draw backs. Just like the internet can be used for positive things, it can also be used for negative things. The problem with having this kind of technology is that hackers can hack into these devices and spy on you. Factory installed cameras that come with TV's, labtops and phones could possibly accessible by a third party. It is important to research the pro's and con's of a Smart TV before you go out and get one. Just because something glitters doesn't mean its gold.
