So what exactly is this Google TV phenomenon everyone is talking about? Google's services are no longer solely in the domain of their powerful search engine and emailing systems.
Their innovative approach to technology has led them to produce Google TV which is essentially an application that integrates the company's core business product (searching), the internet, multimedia capabilities of a media box, and television.
Google TV uses a unique method to prepare the websites to be viewed on your TV, even in high definition if you would like.
What this effectively means is that you would have full control over information, downloadable programs, the internet, and other media content such as videos and photographs, all from you're the comfort of your home television.
Perhaps the most attractive element of Google TV is the fact that it is specifically designed for the television user.
Anyone can build a device to give you access to the internet through your television.
In fact many other manufacturers have been doing this for years.
The difference is Google TV is adapted for finding information on program schedules for a specific channel through the search bar.
How you can use this information really sets Google apart from the competition, and the preloaded applications show the faith other companies such as Twitter, Napster, and Amazon have in this application.
The additional applications to customize your setup can be downloaded easily through the program and Google launches continuous updates over the air.
Other applications such as Flicker and Picasa can also be installed, giving the user full control of their photo gallery or any photos they would wish to use.
Because Google TV can be used with just about any TV, households with high definition televisions can view their photo gallery in HD.
To some extent this can be advantageous to a photographer because the 'cap' on the resolution of the pictures they would like to shoot is increased.
This software really gives photographers an excellent opportunity to showcase their portfolio in a way that they intended it to be seen.
Google does not limit what you can access through Google TV's full browser.
Coupled with Adobe's flash player, anyone with the software installed on their television can view flash content.
This means that for videos available on YouTube.
com and other video content systems that can be viewed in HD, you can watch them right from your television in big screen.
