Hi Mr.Max,

First don't feel bad. TV's, like computers, drop really quickly in price as newer, faster models come out every day.

To answer your question: A Smart TV is basically a small computer with a big screen. It has an operating system and runs apps just like your smartphone, and connects to the Internet via Ethernet or Wifi.

If your TV isn't smart, you can make it smart. Chromecast is excellent as Shake suggested. You can also use an Apple TV, but they are more expensive. If you're handy and like to tinker, you can use a Raspberry Pi 3.
