At yesterday's Google TV launch, the Internet mega-company posited that right now there's only two worlds-- the World Wide Web and TV. Instead of choosing which one to enjoy, Google TV will blend the two into one user experience.
With Google TV, Google has revamped the navigation of TV in order to give the exact same experience as you would on a PC. Launching a Google search box, you are able to look for any show or video, with results shown from both your TV and the web. Because the Google TV will have Flash support, you can visit music sites, view photos and play Facebook/Flash games.
