Since the beginning of the year, internet-enabled or “smart” TVs have started to become the norm. It's not uncommon to hear reports of customers at electrical stores walking away with a smart TV whether they've asked for one or not. Now they're set to change the entertainment and consumer electronics industries forever as people find they can watch and listen to what they want when they want.
"Smart TVs: The Second Generation - Social Networking, Tablets & Targeted Ads" is the second report in a series on smart TVs published by Rider Research. It's a survey of the market, looking at events and trends since the beginning of 2011. Based on current evidence, it also attempts to make some predictions and pass along forecasts of others, including the assertion that in the next 3-5 years every home in the "developed world" will have at least one smart TV.
