The Possible Future of Television

Several concepts would come to mind if we examine the development of television. Many may sound ridiculous while still making sense. Let's compare notes. See if the ideas you could be thinking are presented below.

Concave Super Widescreen Television

Viewers complained about the black bands or "half screen" displays they had with movies showing at the 16:9 aspect ratio on their 4:3 TV's. Now that 16:9 TV's have become popular, movies and shows are getting shot at 21:9 screen ratio. What happens next? Shall we see 36:9, 100:9, or 150:9 displays in the years to come? There's no better way to prepare for this unfortunate trend than to have a super widescreen concave TV.

Full QWERTY TV Remocon cum Smartphone cum Videoke/Karaoke Microphone

Pictured above is the Sony QWERTY smart TV remocon. It's a good idea but it could get better if that remocon could actually be a smartphone. We wouldn't mind if it comes with a capacitive touchscreen and a microphone that effectively makes it a "Magic Sing" (videoke) microphone.

TV Camera and Mic for Video Calls also Doubling as CCTV Cam and Mic

CCTV's are becoming highly popular nowadays. If we can add practically useless cameras to mobile phones, why can't we add cameras to TV's that are usually positioned at opportune places for spotting interlopers.

Swiveling TV Screen

We surely want to nurture the couch potato culture so here comes a very appropriate "innovation."

Curtain TV

With TV's becoming slimmer and slimmer each year, it won't be very long before they exist as very thin image-projecting sheets that may serve as a curtain. If there are problems with glare, they can effectively—by themselves—block light from outside homes or offices.

Siri, S Voice, and Their Ilk on TV

There are TV's now that are already capable of responding to voice commands. If such is possible, it's inevitable for a Siri like feature to be included as one of  future TV highlights.
