According to Janko Roettgers of Gigaom, Chromecast is a $35
streaming dongle that plugs into your TV’s HDMI port. You can use it to stream
online videos from YouTube, Netflix and elsewhere, and use your computer,
mobile phone or tablet as a remote control. It doesn’t have any kind of
separate app store or user interface on your TV. Basically, everything gets
controlled from the PC or mobile device.
As a consumer who uses HDMI cable to connect my PC to
the television when watching Netflix, I think Chromecast is a great invention. Because
my HDMI cable is short, I often have to walk to the screen where to control the
movie I am watching. With Chromecast, which is remote free, I can control the
movie I watch in the palm of my hands. I can save the trouble walking back and
forth to my computer. The absence of the HDMI cable also will make my house
look tidier, rather than having cables intertwined with each other. Also, I
think the the absence of cable also helps prevent accidents from tripping over
cables. Family with small kids should consider replacing their HDMI cable with
Chromecast. In my opinion, Chromecast is selling at an affordable price for
only $35.
