The technology wave has hit and keeps on rolling in and I saw it for real in the LG booth at CES 2019. Their curved video wall measuring well over 100 feet by 30 feet, delivered a nature experience in a whole new way with a waterfall pouring around and towards you over curved screens. Yes, I just returned from Las Vegas where I spent the week with more than 188,000 of my “closest friends,” including more than 63,000 from outside the U.S. CES 2019 was the biggest show yet with 2.9 million square feet, featuring more than 4,500 exhibiting companies. In addition, about 1,200 startups pitched their concepts in the Eureka Park Marketplace.
Cool new products were everywhere. There was much to explore around IoT, Internet of Things; smart cities, 5G, sustainability, connected devices, 3D printing, cryptocurrency and drones — to name a few. Self-driving cars and vehicle technology were prevalent; there was even a car that monitors your heart rate and senses your emotions to adjust the car environment, lighting and sounds, to complement your mood.
