The television has come a long way lately. The high definition TV has been in high demand ever since they came out, and manufacturers just haven't stopped innovating. They've been developing over the years, but Smart TVs are becoming more and more popular as the internet gets more ubiquitous. Services like Netflix and Hulu has made it more and more easier to access content from the internet, which has been the premier way to get content as more and more people abandon their cable or satellite subscriptions. Whenever you see a commercial for a Smart Tv, they always look slick and interesting, and I figure that's why may be more popular.
