Google has said goodbye to Chromecast, its popular streaming device. The new Google TV Streamer is here to take its place. Chromecast started in 2013, connecting to TVs to stream content from phones or computers. It was a hit because it only cost $35, much cheaper than other options at the time. Over the years, Chromecast improved with new features and designs. The latest model, the Google TV Streamer, has a remote and comes in a cool hazel color.
Chromecast changed how we watch TV, leading to more streaming options. Competitors like Roku and Amazon followed suit with their own streaming sticks. If it wasn’t for Chromecast, the streaming world might look very different today.
You can still buy a Chromecast while stocks last. Google will keep supporting it with updates. So, if you want a piece of streaming history, now’s your chance!
