The Spanish Inquisition sketch
I want a TV for the main purpose of watching TV programmes...
... and watching films I rent on DVD from my Blockbusters shop,
OK I want a TV for two purposes, to watch TV programmes and to watch films I rent on DVD from my Blockbusters shop...
...and to exercise to that keep fit DVD I've got.
OK I want a TV for three purposes, to watch TV programmes, to watch films I rent on DVD from my Blockbusters shop, and to exercise to that keep fit DVD I've got...
and to play that Who Wants To Be A Millionaire DVD game we got at Christmas when we have friends around.
OK, amongst my reasons for wanting a TV are diverse elements like watching TV programmes, watching the films I rent on DVD from my Blockbusters shop, exercising to that keep fit DVD I've got, and playing that Who Wants To Be A Millionaire DVD game we got at Christmas when we have friends around.
... and so on, and I haven't even mentioned the TV programme menu, viewing digital photo albums, viewing home camcorder footage, playing console games, etc. Smart TV is merely opening up the TV to similar or more uses, similar uses that we currently put traditional TVs to (but with more of an online element), and other uses too.
