Intel is hoping to do their part to help personalize the TV, by developing a prototype device that will bring the Internet to the TV. Intel plan to show off a range of consumer electronic prototypes that run on “widgets,” or mini-applications.

These prototypes will help to complement your TV viewing by offering up information from the Internet; TV viewers will also be able to talk to friends in real time as well as buy products that have been advertised on TV from a range of online stores.
