If it runs on electricity or batteries and an individual might buy it, it\u2019s at CES.\u00a0 Also, if it attaches to one of these gizmos, it too will probably be represented at the show.<\/p>\n

I know you didn\u2019t ask for a CES news translator and it\u2019s a fair question to take if you should even care about the overwhelming amount of information, marketing hyperbole and blatant vaporware that streams out of Las Vegas this time every year.\u00a0 Well maybe you shouldn\u2019t care.\u00a0 Do we really need incentives to up our consumption?\u00a0 Some people get involved in the next great gadget or trend because their job\/business depends on it.\u00a0 For others it\u2019s just an interesting and dynamic topic or current event like knowing who the next hot band is or best selling author.\u00a0 And finally, there is a big chunk of people that for them, all this latest, greatest, shinny tech goodness is a guilty pleasure.\u00a0 They like to be teased about what could be, what they really<\/em> need and how much better life would be with one of those gizmos.\u00a0 I used to be in all 3 groups <\/p>\n

, that is why I will be a good CES News Translator.<\/p>\n

A man walks into a bar and asks \u201chey, what\u2019s the big thing going on at CES this year?\u201d\u00a0 Your response: \u201cIt\u2019s all about wearable technology\u201d\u00a0 The other patrons nod their head in agreement\"fitnessbands\"<\/a> and appreciation for your succinct insight.\u00a0 All except one malcontent who slurs that he has been way ahead of \"Google-Google-Glass\"<\/a>the curve and proudly displays his beeper on his belt.<\/p>\n

Wearable technology can be glasses that have computers built in that let you search the internet with your voice, take a picture with it\u2019s built in camera and show you your web pages on a tiny display on your glasses only you can see.\u00a0 This is not a new CES announcement, this is Google Glass and has been out in the world for almost a year.\u00a0 But because of these kind of high profile efforts, LOTS of companies want to be in wearable technology category.\u00a0 Other popular examples of this tech are; smartwatches that connect to your phone, have GPS and monitor your heart rate.\u00a0 Fitness bands (bracelets) that measure walking\/running and how you sleep, calories you burn and more.\u00a0 There are lots of other examples of wearable technology.\u00a0 Companies who already have products in this market will be showing their new and improved versions.\u00a0 Newcomers will either be\u00a0trying to best the established competitor with a spin that makes them better or going after a niche segment they feel is not being served.<\/p>\n

OK how about something fun from CES?\u00a0 This is from a company that really launched the \u201cpersonal drone\u201d category a few CESs back the company is called Parrot.\u00a0 One of them can clime walls and roll across the ceiling \u2013 how cool is that?\u00a0 You control them with your phone.<\/p>\n
