The Future at our Fingertips

1 Technology has never developed as quickly as it has in the early 21 st century. In recent years we
have witnessed a revolution in personal communication technology with the introduction of the
smartphone. But what about in the world of home entertainment? Welcome to the smart TV.

2 TV has been entertaining families for many years now. It has changed from black and white to
colour, from analogue to digital. By now, we are all used to controlling our TVs with remote controls
instead of getting up to change the channel, but all that may be about to change.

3 What if you could change the channel with a wave of your hand or just by telling the TV what you
want? This may sound like something from Star Trek, but it is actually real. Gesture and voice control
have stepped out of science fiction films and into our living rooms. The new TVs on sale today allow you
to do so much more than just watch your favourite programmes.
