Chromecast is Google’s new attempt on multimedia streaming on TVs. It is a small USB stick that plugs in the TV. It has large variety of apps and has access to the Google Play Store.
Reaction
This product seems more like a novelty than anything else. Personally, I have no use for this product. My PS3 and Wii U can handle my video streaming needs without any problems. However, this product does look quite appealing for people who don’t yet own such devices. The price tag is incredibly appealing and its design is sleek and portable. Overall, I believe that this new product is well worth its praise.
Connection
The Chromecast can come in handy in quite a number of situations, especially in school. Currently I am taking a film class that requires me to review some movies on my own accord. The Chromecast can facilitate this procedure by allowing me to stream Netflix on my TV. Of course, that is if I already didn't own products that can stream Netflix on my TV.
Short Answer
What is the central idea of the passage and how is it developed and refined throughout the selection?
The central idea is on how the Chromecast can finally be the device that makes Google a popular alternative for other video streaming devices. This supported by a statement from the author, “This new gadget may be the one that makes a seismic impact in the consumer technology world.” This statement definitely makes the reader know that the product is quite important. The author also seems to believe that this product is one of Google’s most brilliant ideas yet.
