Google will attempt to change the way people use their television sets by developing a new platform to bring the best of the internet to TV screens, according to reports.
The search giant is believed to be working with Sony and Intel to develop a system called “Google TV”, and has built a prototype set-top box in an effort to provide a better way for people to surf the web through their televisions.
In recent years, other companies, notably Apple, have tried to develop systems to allow people to access the internet through their televisions in order to do things such as download movies and television shows.
A report in the New York Times today suggests that Google’s new device could also be built into TVs and other devices such as Blu-ray players. The machine would allow people to watch their TV channels but also have better access to the internet, search, social networking sites, YouTube videos and online games.
The companies are thought to be working with Logitech, another technology manufacturer, to build a remote control and small keyboard for the system.
