    Meh, I doubt my $229 55 in Specta TV from Walmart has enough smarts to take pics.

    You guys are too funny in a paranoid, 'theyre out to get me' kinda way. :hiding:

    Reality is this... the only thing people who get your personal information want from you... is to sell you something. Its called targeted marketing and it is definitely a sign of the times. For example, I told a friend yesterday that Im thinking of buying a pair of Birkenstock sandals this summer and called up a pic. Today, every ad I see is for Birkenstock sandals.

    OMG, get me the black electrical tape and a cotton ball, honey. somebody's trying to murder my family!!!

    Because we all know by now that Smart TV's are only for
    smart people as the Democrats keep preaching about their policy's.
    And furthermore Democrats think those who shop at
    Wal*Mart aren't too done smart to being with.
    I guess that explains why Hillary was a board member of
    Wal*mart for 6 years.Paying $18,ooo each year and $ 1,5oo
    for each meeting she attended.

    I ordered it online and had a friend pick it up. Couldn't believe the price, but after losing my $2k smart tv to the fatal BLACK SCREEN death... then found out theyre not really 'fixable', decided to try a throwaway tv. (Which, btw, all tvs are today)

    SmartTVs remind me of the old web tv boxes. Ever have one those back in the dark ages? I did. ;)

    It is true that today's TV's are without a doubt disposable.
    That virtually cannot be fixed if broken.Because the modules
    that require a fix are both not easily available and there are
    Literally no more TV/RAdio repair shops.Because it's no longer
    just replacing a TV tube or 2 like in the 50's and 60's.
    Or a few capacitors or even a TV screen { CRT }.
    Then along came works in a drawer and no more need for
    a TV repair guy to make a house call lugging around his
    suitcase size TV parts bag with all kinds of TV tubes.
    With Solid-state came the eventual death of tubes
    and also the eventual death of TV service shops.
    Which explains why TV's are so doggone cheap.
    It's more difficult now to throw away a newer TV than to
    just buy a brand new one.

    Devices like a Smartphone are already headed in that direction.
    It'll be like having a TV in yer back pocket.Which is where a lot of
    folk keep their smartphones.Convenience will be the death of
    mankind.It's already affected Millennials.

    I think it will be a very small object that projects lifelike holograms that you can then resize to fit any area.

    I think it definitely will be stationary as well as portable and incorporated in a communication device that covers all aspects of communication.

    Then someday hologram technology will be the equivalent to throw away TV's when this type of technology or something like it is advanced and made affordable.

    http://www.i-programmer.info/news/1...metric-images-using-optical-trap-display.html

    Whatever it is, I believe it definitely wont be seen on a screen. I imagine it will be lifelike in a room or an area sized to fit.

    You better head for the patent office and patent your idea before it happens or sit and sigh when it happens.

    You meet the Nicest people on a Honda.
    You meet the biggest A-wipes on a Smartphone.

    Americans,Big & Small,Poor or Rich,educated or dumb as bricks,
    of all sizes,shapes and color,have LITERALLY Fallen head over heels
    in Love with their Smartphone devices.
    If Mark Zuckerberg was the Devil himself,he couldn't
    have wished for a more easy path to corrupting the mind.
    This is the danger of a Society given to easy living and
    fun gadgets and plenty of idle time.Which is why Obama
    did everything he could to promote a slacker existence and
    Government benefits { Food Stamps especially }.

    I'm not prejudice against my fellow man nearly as much
    as what they let themselves succumb to.
    It's no different than a vice run amuck.Like Drinking or
    gambling or womanizing.Or being a tattle tale.
    Or Rat Fink.Takes all kinds.
    And Smartphones are around to help it along.
    I doubt many Priests,Rabbis or Monks are smitten with
    a smartphone.Maybe some Faux Preachers.Maybe not.
    By the way who named them Smartphones. ?
    Some Silicon Valley smart ass.

    Let me repeat myself... smartphones are simply hand-held computers. No different from that monitor youre glued to... except your pc can be traced straight to your front door.

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo - John Belushi.
    Mark Zuckerberg does not have a straight conduit to one's
    computer.Where's as Via Facebook he does.Again ... why do think
    it's free.You haven't thought this thru because you delight in being
    rather stubborn.Stubborn can be a virtue given the conditions.
    Stubborn to git a Tattoo_Or take a bribe { a politician } or experiment
    with Drugs { " Just Say NO ! " }.
    I will grant for some if not many a Facebook account is a nice place
    to post pics and communicate with family and friends.But at a price.
    Ever word and pic is now as good as Public Domain.
    because that is what Facebook does.That is why it's free.
    It's free to collect whenever and whatever stuff you use Facebook for.
    Not for Facebook is it free.But for the user.For Facebook it's how
    they Literally Make Billions.It's their Business model.
    Collect as much Data from users { AND Friends } as humanly
    possible and sell for profit.Sneakily.
    Even a shady Prostitute in some big city red Light district has more
    valor.That Prostititue has to face the hazards of bad weather and
    vice squad raids and posting bond.
    What does Suckersberg have to face.Maybe a day old bagel
    w/o cream cheese to go with his lavish slices of Lox.

    Honda's are nice, and it is handy to have a smartphone. Depends on what your idea of a nice person might be, if you are in need, a smartphone is handy no matter who has it, could be a person on a Honda.

    It's also handy ... like very, for those who wanna know all about
    your habits { Like Suckersberg and Co. }.Where you shop and what you
    buy.What politics interest you.What kind of friends you mingle with.
    And their likes and dislikes.
