Last year’s inaugural live stream of the Super Bowl got its fair share of criticism, but it did set a precedent for how technology can affect our enjoyment of the year’s most-hyped sporting event. This year, Sunday’s big game is once again being streamed live online for those who can’t camp out in front of their big-screen TVs. Between streaming options, mobile apps and social media chatter, there are plenty of options to take part in what’s become a national pastime: eating unhealthy food, joking about the commercials and tuning in to what everyone hopes will be a great game. Whether you’ll be watching the San Francisco 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens at the Superdome in New Orleans, hosting a viewing party or watching solo, here are five ways tech can help you kick off a better Super Bowl.
