CES shows us the Internet of the future - CNN.comOne of the more prominent trends at CES was Internet connected TV. The Boxee Box -- a device that connects to your television and lets you play videos and music from the Web took home the show's "Last Gadget Standing" award.
DivX is making a similar play to bring content from the Internet to television, but doing so without any additional hardware required.
Beleaguered Internet giant Yahoo is also betting big on this trend with a slightly different angle as it tries to reinvent itself. Through its Connected TV service, Yahoo is enabling users with Internet connected televisions to do things like access their playlists, communicate with friends on Facebook and Twitter, and get stock quotes from CNBC, using the familiar concept of widgets that's become so popular on the Web.
