Thereafter, the TV sets became available with optional cable or satellite connection and VCD/DVD jack ports. The CRT screen was later on supplanted by plasma, and subsequently by the more efficient LCD or liquid crystal display. But the TV set’s technological development did not stop there, but went on with the creation of today’s internet TV and smart TV—a hybrid between a computer and television.

There is, however, one major drawback when watching using a mobile device—its small screen size—which makes the screen quite difficult to watch. Despite the introduction of touch screen which put away the space-consuming keypads, the mobile device’s screen still remains a bit small.
