    What's the point of a smart monitor? It's connected to a PC. The PC is smart.

    About 90% of Society. If you told my mom she was going to have to plug in a device and use another button on her remote (input) she’d look at you like you were asking her to replace a CPU on a computer. Can I do that? Yeah, I can but it’s delicate work fraught with danger.
