CES

Attending events such as SxSW or the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) can provide a quick download of the latest trends and technological advances.

Look around. How many computing devices do you see? Your phone, probably; maybe a tablet or a laptop. Your car, the TV set, the microwave, bedside alarm clock, possibly the thermostat, and others you’ve never noticed.

A big hit this year is wearable devices that monitor a variety of different biological attributes. Many of these are designed to provide this data to your smartphone.

Jon R. is back to discuss various topics in and out of the tech world. Jon is back this week to talk about smartwatches. What’s the deal with smartwatches? Are they really smart? I guess so in the grand scheme of things, afterall it is essentially an industry that is still in its infancy.

On this week’s episode, Jon riffs on CES 2015 and the new tech that will be on display at the show. Every year at CES we get an early glimpse at the technological improvements we’ll see throughout the year. At CES 2014, curved 4K and giant 8K televisions were popular. At CES 2015, Jon expects TVs to get even more pixels surpassing 8K and possibly hitting 16K.

If anyone expected Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013 to be a sleeper event, they were wrong. After only the first of three days of the CES wrapping up, a myriad of consumer products have already popped out of the woodwork.
