Google has shown off new features coming to Google TV at CES 2025, including presence detection and Google Assistant with Gemini integration.
Imagine walking into your living room and your TV automatically telling you the weather and your calendar for the day. If this is a future you can imagine, you’ll be pleased to hear that Google is working on a new mode for Google TV that does just that.
I remember when tech companies used to do cool things just because it was cool and people were interested in the cool things, and they were making improvements and all sorts of fun stuff.
There was a sweet moment in the mid 00s to early teens where cool stuff was being made to push the envelope. Yeah they wanted to sell you stuff, but they did so under the guise that it would be something to look forward to instead of sucking every penny from your dry husk
