For decades the dominant device in households worldwide has been the Television. Many North Americans spend hours a week watching their favorite entertainment, education and news programs. Worldwide, more than four billion of us use TV to relax, laugh and escape from our daily routines.

Recently, the world wide web has been chipping away at peoples TV usage times. I just heard a report on a news program recently that Canadians now spend more hours per week online than in front of the TV. Many of us are actually watching TV programs and full length movies from our computers. But the quality of the image and the size of our computer screens don’t measure up to our home theater systems. And conversely, TV lacks the interactivity and the versatility of the internet. Google wants to change the TV experience!

Watch this video demonstrating the concept of the newly announced Google TV:

From the company that brought us the best search platform, the innovative google docs suite, google voice and many other cool services, Google now has its sights on TV. I’m looking forward to seeing it in action. Combining the best of the web with the best of TV should make one heck of a product.
