I think it's one of the smartest moves the company has made in some time. And you can use your frigging phone or mouse instead of a remote. Everywhere you go, you can have your stuff, on any screen, doesn't matter if it's "smart", dumb, big, or small. While an arms race among television makers has been mustering over the development of "smart TV" that lets people use the Internet on the biggest screen in the house, Chromecast is like Dropbox for TV. That's exactly what Google is saying with Chromecast. Why pay extra for expensive technology built into your screen when you can bring your own bell and whistle to any screen you want?
In the same way that making automobiles smartphone-compatible has proven to be vastly superior (and more cost-effective) than reinventing smartphone functionality and building it into every car's dashboard, the television set paradigm has just shifted.
