Very good article that really describes the general state of most technology today, not only TV's, but phones, autos, computers... and just about everything else you can think of.

A very interesting article. I had hope in technology at one point in my life when Steve Jobs was still alive and had revolutionized phones and music consumption. With him gone, I don’t have much hope anymore. A few years ago, I bought a Sony Ultra HD (4K) 75” AndroidTV that was supposed to be the best TV in existence and had a built in computer with even a full 3D car racing game installed on it akin of quality car racing games you see in arcades. Anyways, the TV software was extremely complicated and some things didn’t work sometimes like connecting my Bluetooth Bose headphones, which could not be used from a long enough distance forcing me to sit right by the TV and defeating their wireless purpose with it. Anyways, Apple eventually offered Apple software that could be installed on the TV, but had some caveats. The TV was definitely very interesting from a hardware point of view, but suffered greatly from user interface and usability issues. I was so disappointed I knew that without Steve Jobs, it’s hopeless in technology usability. I could tolerate it, but what about the elderly and impatient non-computer-savvy people?

Godspeed.
