While some televisions we have now allows you to go online to stream videos and maybe even download contents to the TV set to be viewed later, it has been said that Google is joining forces with Sony and Intel to develop the next generation of TVs that will allow users to access the entire Internet. This means that apart from streaming videos from places such as YouTube, you will soon be able to do other things like share your personal media, access Twitter and such, with the help of the Android platform and powered by Intel Atom processors of course. While no official news has been released yet by any of the parties involved, sources found that Intel is now hiring senior application engineers capable of taking Intel “from PC screen to mobile screen and TV screen”. While it is likely that they will be releasing set-top boxes for now (might as well just hook up your big LCD TV to your computer and use it as an extended monitor), in time to come, the technology could be built in directly into the TV; now we're talking!
