For most people, having access to Netflix, Hulu+,, Amazon Prime Instant Video, Pandora, Youtube and perhaps a few other internet streaming services is plenty. A "smart" TV and internet service will allow you to access all these and more. An external streaming box such as Apple TV or Roku will accomplish the same thing if you select a "non-smart" TV. For most typical users, a "smart" TV is easier than an external streaming box because you eliminate a remote control.
