Web TV was launched in the mid 1990’s as an affordable alternative too buying a computer. It basically allowed users too use their Television sets as computer monitors for web surfing. Web TV also allowed users too have email access during a time when email was growing in use even though the price of a home computer was high compared to today’s prices.
I remember Web TV one thing I liked about it was the wireless keyboard that allowed you too sit on your couch and surf the internet. instead of having to sit at your computer. Back in the mid 1990’s a laptop cost several thousand dollars. Today that’s not a problem because the price of laptops has come way down.
Probably the best thing about Web TV was it’s relative low price which allowed many people too experience the internet for the first time.
Web TV is still around but is now called MSN TV.
