As is common with the fantastic world of technology, things are constantly changing. In the last ten years alone, the advances seen in this industry include live online streaming services such as Netflix, self-driving cars, tablets, augmented reality devices, and hoverboards. It seems that each and every day, new updates continue to happen.
In a world that is hungry for the next advancement in all things tech, we take a look back at some of the TV technology that didn’t quite make it, along with some newer models that did take off, including 8k TVs, that we believe are a great addition to your home.
Looking Back on Old TV Technology
- CRT
CRT stands for Cathode Ray Tubes. Created using electron beams, this technology became incredibly popular after World War II and manufactured the first domestic televisions.
- Plasma
Unfortunately for CRT TV sets, Plasma TVs were invented by 1964, pushing the once-loved CRT into obsoletion. Plasma TVs were a flat panel display that coined the name due to the technology behind it, in which small cells containing electrically charged ionised gases were utilised. However, Plasma TVs were also deemed unpopular only fifty years later, finally being pulled from production in 2014.
Past Technology Predictions That Didn’t Live Up to Expectations
At the start of the 2010s, 3D TVs were at the forefront of TV technology. Bringing the action out of the television through a pairing of 3D modified glasses and 3D-ready TV shows and movies, the technology plunged viewers straight into the heart of all the action. With this new development in technology, experts initially predicted that 3D TV would be a centrepiece in homes worldwide. However, success appeared short-lived, with many professionals claiming that the lack of content available in 3D was a probable cause. In addition, top streaming services such as Netflix are still yet to offer 3D viewing. However, with the constant advancements in technology, 3D TVs could be set to make a comeback.
Not long after the introduction of 3D TVs, the newly developed concept of curved TVs launched. The slightly curved exterior of these TVs promised an immersive experience for viewers within the comfort of their own homes.

What Are the Future Predictions for Television?
As it is clear to see, technology is forever changing. With several tech companies currently focusing on voice-controlled television systems, a likely prediction is that our trusty television remote will become obsolete in the not too distant future.
A recent development by Sky has seen the demise of the satellite dish as they have announced their latest instalment, which is effectively a wireless TV that works solely using a WiFi connection. With many companies expected to follow suit, this is certainly something to watch for in the coming years.
The future of cable TV also looks bleak as we look into the increasing popularity of streaming services. TV streaming giants such as Netflix and Amazon Prime continue to grow whilst the demand for cable slowly declines. Moreover, with the regular creation of new streaming services, including Disney +, launched at the end of 2019, the future predicts that by 2025 a further 25 million are expected to ditch cable.
In addition, with the rise of social media, we can expect to see a lot more of this embedded into our TVs, too. So perhaps trends will change, and we will have the option of having live Twitter feeds accompanying a particular TV program you are watching!
We can guarantee that screen resolution and clarity will only get better through the years.
