It happens every year. I reported on it last year. And I’ll share some of my highlights from this year.
Yep – it’s CES 2019!!!! – the biggest, baddest and (one of the) best Electronics show in the world.
Happens in January of every year and all the top electronic companies around the world come to Vegas to show off what they’ve been doing, what’s coming in the pipeline and what’s going to be the future!!
Ok.. let’s get started… for me, first up…. TV.
Well, when I say TV… I mean screens. Screen technology.
Panasonic turned up with a very good, 4K screen (in various sizes – going up to 65”). Then we had Sony… showing off their 8k screen. Samsung with their inter-connecting screens (basically, tiles you connect and it forms a large screen). But for me, it was LG. The rolling screen!
That’s right! – it’s a sound box, screen… everything in one! The screen roles out of the box! How brilliant is that.
I saw the rolling screen at LG a few years back, in their Innovation Lab. It’s great to see what they’ve done to it and how they’ve applied it.
Ok… up next…. Food related!
That’s right folks… 2019 is the year of ‘Bal’s Kitchen’. And what better way to ensure I’m sure the latest technology in my kitchen!
So we have… Pepper! – A connected food scale!!
It can be connected to Amazon’s Alexa digital assistant which claims to detect the nutritional value of every ingredient… how awesome is that?!
Now, this is very new… and they’ll be starting their crowdfunding campaign on kickstarter very soon….
Now there were lots of robotics… Samsung had an air purifier robot, there was a mouse robot for cats to play with, and much more.
Being an ‘electronics’ show… and we now have ‘electric’ cars… we have a number of manufactures showing of their latest offerings.
Ford, GM, Kia, Tesla and many more were there, showing off their latest and greatest vehicles. There was also Harley Davidson showing off their electric bikes…
The final item… for this blog post… and to share with you, that was on display at CES was from Lamborghini.
That’s right. The Italian car maker turned up, with a few cars.. but also this,
That’s right folks, it’s a chair. Not any old chair… one that will totally transform you as a person. Totally relax you… and let’s be honest, you wouldn’t expect anything less from these crazy Italians!
So I leave you with some highlights. Technology is great, isn’t it…. transforming how you watch your favorite shows, how you cook in the kitchen and how you sit down… or rather, what you sit down on.
