Of course, the TV itself has changed a lot over the decades, but it's still a fixture in roughly 95% of American homes.
-
And a growing number of the ones that don't have TVs are still watching programs on other kinds of screens.
-
Will the screen itself eventually become obsolete?
-
So we're surrounded by screens there how we entertain ourselves.
-
But how will watch them?
-
The form factor is changing, too.
-
The size, the shape and even the idea of needing a screen at all is evolving.
-
E think one of the big changes we're just gonna see over the next decade is that we're gonna start toe, have intelligent conversations within animate objects.
-
Is it gonna be on the gaming console?
-
Is it gonna be in?
-
Everything is gonna be in everything.
-
Kicker, A French startup, Thanks.
-
Your future entertainment system will look like this.
-
It's a projector, sound system and security system rolled into one.
-
So kicker is kind of like an obedient dog.
-
That's right.
-
But 1000 whistles, bells and whistles and just really useful the sense that it can be there to give you your music.
-
Your TV experience on it can be a way if you don't want to see it.
-
Kickers designed to do a lot, but it isn't perfect yet.
-
Hey, kicker, come to the living room.
-
Hey, kicker, show me the weather.
-
Keep your stop moving, please.
-
It's just like a petulant version of the Amazon Echo.
-
You have to say it over and over and over.
-
But instead of Alexa, I'm saying Speaker, But you think there may be a day when kicker replaces the TV?
-
I think the TV has to be replaced by something because it's just too old, like, you know, the voice assistance.
-
It's all about learning and trying to be better to serve you better, as opposed to just be a blank plastic, you know, display turning TVs into something mawr than just two black boxes.
-
A challenge.
-
Lots of companies air tackling.
-
Some are making screens more flexible or getting rid of them entirely.
-
Others are designing screens to blend in.
-
This isn't a painting behind me.
-
It's actually a TV.
-
It's called the frame, and it's made by Samsung.
-
Now, when the TV is off, Samsung provides hundreds of pieces of art that can be displayed.
-
But you can also add your own, and you can even change the color of the frame itself.
-
But what if your screen could actually talk to you?
-
Some of the biggest advances we're going to see in home entertainment are going to be virtual reality headsets coming into the home.
-
We're gonna make a big difference, augmented reality systems and then also artificially intelligent characters that start to become part of games and other experiences.
-
So you would be talking then, Thio like a character in one of your games about something that you're watching instead of kind of saying, you know, Hey, television, pull up Video number three You could just say, Hey, Sidney, what do you think we should watch next?
-
And then the character have some suggestions and the two of you will have a conversation when these technologies get good enough.
-
Do you foresee a day when screens just completely disappear?
-
It's sort of like did television kill radio?
-
I think just like a R.
-
Is gonna replace some screen applications, screens air going to survive and and hang in there.
-
So what will we be watching in the future?
-
We're not exactly sure.
-
E.
-
Guess we'll just have to stay tuned.
