In the year 1953 Arch Oboler directed the movie The Twonky. Philosophy professor Kerry West is surprised and upset when his new television set begins talking to him. The TV is actually a "Twonky", a device accidentally sent from the future. The Twonky's purpose is to make its users' life easier, and it sets about "helping" the professor by censoring his books, reading people's minds, and controlling his life. West struggles to find a way to stop the Twonky.

The company PacketVideo also wants to make users's life easier with its Twonky MediaServer. It enables you to share your multimedia throughout your home. It is available for many different platforms and interworks with a variety of client devices including XBox 360™, Sony PS3™ and Sony PSP™.
