Social television refers to technology that allows social interaction around television content, such as text chatting, commenting, or video conferencing related to the TV show. It combines traditional television viewing with social media engagement through devices that integrate with the TV experience. Examples include real-time voting that impacts the program, as well as commenting features that allow audience members to discuss the show via their social networks. The speaker encourages the audience to suggest future directions for social television.
