在冰箱门上也能上网

英特网不仅可以在个人电脑上使用，在手机上使用，甚至连冰箱的门上都可以上网。现在专家们对于是否要让电视也接入网络而各执一词、争论不休。虽然讨论很激烈，但是显然，电视机的制造商们对这一建议并不欢迎。
You would be hard-pressed to find a screen today that does not get Internet access. It's not just the PC and the phone - online content now appears in elevators, in the back of taxis and at your airplane seat. Some companies even tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to get the Internet displayed on a refrigerator door.
So how is it that the Internet has largely escaped the single biggest screen in most of our lives - the television?
An intensifying, and perhaps surprising, debate is playing out around this question and others. Should televisions be able to get access to the Web? And not just thin slices of the Web allowed by a few services, but the whole cacophonous, unregulated, messy thing? And if they should, how should they?
Now a movement is afoot by chip makers big and small to spur a new generation of TVs with full browser capability, like a personal computer. In October, Intel released its own TV-focused chip, and numerous other semiconductor designers and manufacturers are doing the same, industry analysts said.
But perhaps the most surprising thing is not how long it is taking to get the Internet on TV but that, to some degree, the slow pace is deliberate. Television manufacturers simply do not seem to want it.
