On March 25, 1925, Baird gave the first public demonstration of televised silhouette images in motion, at Selfridge's Department Store in London. Since human faces had inadequate contrast to show up on his primitive system, he televised a talking, moving ventriloquist's dummy named "Stooky Bill", whose painted face had higher contrast. By January 26, 1926, he had demonstrated the transmission of an image of a face in motion by radio. This is widely regarded as the first television demonstration in history. (1)With the advent of the internet, Televisions have become smarter. But what do we mean when we say a technology has become smarter? It is fundamentally an input output device, where the number of these possibilities or interactions gauge its "smartness." The television can be connected to all kinds of devices, even those that don't exist yet, like Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology.
In the future Televisions will be:
1) Smarter, meaning they will be connected to more tech systems and offer far more interactions. You will be able to have a phone or computer interact with the television itself.
2) Thinner. All visual display systems can become ultra thin, paper thin, so thin that they can be used as wall-paper. So in the future we will have televisions that are really wall-screens. Like all our screen technology, they will eventually become foldable. Even more advanced they will be able to contract and expand. So you may take a phone device and stretch it to fit your wall, or a wall device and shrink it to become a "phone device." Foldables are in the works.

3) Wider displays. Right now we have city buildings that have large TV displays. In the future it will be feasible to have even more televisions set up on buildings.
4) Multi-Applicable. When screens become paper thin they may be put on anything. One might even wear a "screen mask" to project a visual display of a desired face. Outfits may be screen like, fabric made into a visual displays.
But will Tv screens still exist in the future, with the advent of Augmented and Virtual reality devices? I think yes they will. They will exist along side of them -- just as the micro-wave didn't make the oven obsolete. Eventually, though TV might be made dormant by more advanced technology, such as 3d holograms. Holograms are the next step in visual display advancements.For a look at the future of 3d holograms click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzWP-NL3Lck
Holograms will be able to be projected and displayed, taking up 2d and 3d space. They will also become more haptic (touch sensitive).
Now if we combine all three of these technologies: BCI, Screen and Holographic display: we can conceive of world so alterable by the mind that it ultimately becomes the will which controls a digital world. 3d digital beings become interactable and can transition from our 3d world into their own world, (THE TV!< Getting "The Ring" vibes here?) be it also in the net or a digital virtual reality. Unlocking the ultimate technologies in the technological interface starts with such digital technologies as the TV.
