The first virtual Consumer Electronics Show along with its 1,800 exhibitors is using a digital platform to replace the in person show floors. 170,000 attendees can look but not touch the future of gadgets gizmos and all things consumer electronics that otherwise will be on display virtually throughout this CES.
The start of CES decades ago centered around televisions and again they take centerstage. With consumers watching more content than ever, TV makers are targeting the 57% who are streaming more TV shows and film with upgrades to the viewing experience. We’re learning how your next state of the art TV purchase should include technology that makes everything look 8K even if it is lower resolution.
Look for these two new features in buying your next TV
1) Smaller LEDs or MicroLED technology and
2) 8K resolution that up converts lower resolutions
Samsung NeoQLED
Neo QLED TVs take the viewing experience to new heights, with new technology. Significantly smaller lights provide stunning contrast, a new quantum processor delivers optimized video quality and immersive audio, and slim, sleek displays ensure your TV will blend seamlessly into your home. With industry-first Multi-Intelligence AI Upscaling that delivers optimized 8K content regardless of the original source. This makes me think it’s time to upgrade to 8K at home this year.
Bot Handy Home Robot
Samsung also showed off its Bot Handy home robot that can do your laundry, the dishes and even pour you a glass of wine.

My poop said what??@!!
Not only are touchless bathroom fixtures big at CES, so is a future toilet that analyzes your poop called the Wellness Toilet. Toto announced the concept toilet ‘coming in years’ that senses and analyzes your body and key outputs.. meaning poop.. to provide recommendations via a connect app. For example, “Your diet seems unbalanced. The recommended recipe is Salmon/Chicken Avocado Salad”
I’m not sure I want my toilet talking to my smartphone anytime soon much less telling me about my poop.
