I want this thread to be a place where anyone can discuss technology(not just smartphones or computers). The history, the present and the future. For starters I'd like to highlight the Spinning Jenny:



Which helped kick off the Industrial Revolution in England. From there we got steam engines, locomotives, repeating rifles, the steel industry, the fossil fuels industries, the modern chemical industries, the automobile, airplane, giant ships and computers.

Let's have at it. This is what I'm looking forward to this holiday season:

Guys this is a 4K resolution display. But it will take until 2020 until 4K content is readily available and the internet is completely fiber-optically wired to enabled it for streaming. Also the cost is prohibitive at $20K.

for the first time in history the sales of televisions are down.
 
 
could this be a trend?  can the television really be replaced?

I think it will be a trend because of mobile devices. People prefer the new mobile screen. Ipads everywhere.

[Clay Death]

that is what i am thinking too.
 
we can never replace the family televisions but more and more people are catching news and other info on all these mobile devices and personal computers.
 
by the way LG has a 84 inch ultra hd televisions now.
 
the price: only $20,000.00

[Clay Death]
