Nowadays, anyone who buys a television at an electronics store generally buys a smart TV: 96 percent of devices fall into this category. Most manufacturers no longer offer ‘dumb’ TV sets. They have their reasons for this: it is a lucrative business for the TV industry to evaluate viewing behavior to show us personalized advertisements.
