The CES Consumer Electronics Show opens today, Tuesday 7 January, in Las Vegas and will close on Friday 10; the usual gigantic consumer electronics parade boasts staggering numbers, 4500 exhibitors, over 20 innovations, 1.200 startups from 45 countries and 300 technical conferences. Difficult to summarize the most interesting trends, events and news because under the umbrella of consumer electronics there is everything, even the automotive, cycles and motorcycles, health, ecology, household appliances and, from this year, as we had anticipated, also sex toys. In this first report we summarize some megatrends announced by the exhibitors well in advance and which are now emerging during the year. But also with some gossip .... Because for some time now the global competition between Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and Americans has turned into a continuous war of communications, lawsuits, industrial espionage to contend for a market that is worth well over a trillion euros , according to official data from GFK.
Apple is back and in the meantime the war of the 8K TV stickers is breaking out
Voice assistants are now everywhere, even hidden in electrical wall sockets and are increasingly useful even if intrusive. After 25 years of snooty absence, Apple is back, which increasingly suffers from competition from old and new competitors. And then the war of stamps; in December Firstonline had it first announced by also revealing the revolution at the top of LG for the war of 8K TVs and stickers. War that will explode at CES because only OLED TVs with the Real 8K sticker can define themselves as 8K TVs. At each edition of CES, this duel involving millions of dollars between the two Korean giants is repeated, and extends to smart, super, transparent mega fridges with Artificial Intelligence, full of hi-tech tics that are not always useful. And if LG is ahead with regard to 8K TVs (where Sony is also very strong) and roller shutters, Samsung responds with the announcement that it has filed its own patent on the same type of innovation a year ago and underlines by presenting new smartphones , a sector where LG does not boast positions of great primacy.
The door-refrigerator and intelligent sex toys
Samsung insists on investing in advanced technology and design with Zero Besel, a great TV without any frame and no high-impact edges… In smart appliances LG arrives with the new series of its refrigerators and the front door-refrigerator. Yes is the latest tic hi tech so fresh supplies are deposited in this outside container by the delivery man. Last year, perhaps in the name of the puritanism of the founding fathers of Las Vegas, the Mormons, the organizers of the CES had first awarded the robotic sex toy Osé (8 patents) of the startup Lora di Carlo, "for the requirements of innovation and originality due to its particular and highly effective performance". And then, due to the protests of the right-thinking sovereignists, they had had to withdraw the prize and participation. To then, shortly after, following the protests of the press and visitors, return the awards. From this year Lora di Carlo with her Osé returned triumphantly to the CES, acclaimed, awarded, after the CES had to recognize its innovative content. And with Osé at CES 2020 there are other -valid- sex toy manufacturers.
TVs roll up, robots make pizza and protect the house
Having lost the battle of sex toys, the organizers of CES, the powerful CTA, which brings together consumer electronics companies, issued a second fatwa, the one against too daring dress codes and winking of the stand attendants and also of the stand attendants. But the news? Among the TVs that roll up, bend, stretch and widen, there are transparent, huge ones, those for outdoors that fear nothing, and then even flexible, foldable and rollable smartphones. Robots abound, from the robot pizza maker who makes and serves hundreds of them, all by himself, to the sensational “sheets” of beauty that Panasonic invented and that invisibly cover skin imperfections. The robots? many, too many, NexMind is the first non-invasive thought reader which impressed Forbes and which is based, like the vast majority of the new products presented, on the applications of Artificial Intelligence and IoT. Great space for "green" technologies. Are now a big rise in the demands of domestic greenhouses hydroponics or mixed air-water, with intelligent management with the debut even of a vertical and digital hydroponic farm with Artificial Intelligence.
