The Next New Thing

Modern society's new media is usually involved in computers or smart phones which we are using and carrying all the time. However, there is one more device we live with on a daily basis but most of people forget about. It is television. Even though new technology allowed us to watch TV shows on the internet, most of people still wait for their favorite TV shows’ new seasons and would like to watch them on television. 
What I realized about television is that TV was not really developed a lot when it comes to “interaction”. We can have social interaction by using computers and phones. On the other hand, television still stays in a one-way system. Information is delivered only from producers to viewers. I am expecting the one-way relationship to be a two-way relationship in the future by adding a new technology. For example, if a live-chatting system is adopted while viewers watch TV shows, the viewers can discuss about what will happen in the TV show they are watching or share feedbacks about the TV shows with producers or writers right away.
