After the flat panels and HD, bringing Internet to TV watching is the next big thing.
Yahoo has already collaborated with Intel to make Internet TV a reality.
As part of their project, Intel has thus far developed a new semiconductor called the Intel Media Processor CE 3100, which can go into a multitude of devices like the TV, DVD player or remote control.
Yahoo and Intel's project is being backed by industry players like Toshiba, Blockbuster (BBI), Comcast (CMCSA) and Twitter.
The two companies will rely on content providers to create applications for Internet TV, but consumers could see things like the ability to download movies, buy goods, track stocks or sports teams, and get news updates.
