"The Internet of Things" dominates CES in Las Vegas
- 9 years ago
CES, one of the world’s biggest tech shows, has attracted record crowds to Las Vegas.
This year was all about being connected, with everything from Smart Wallets, 3D printing, wearables and much more.
This edition’s buzzword: the Internet of Things. But what does it mean?
“When we say “The Internet of Things” we are often talking about the ways in which, say, your thermostat interacts with your car. And we’re starting to see a lot of that at this show, a lot of connected homes, a lot of connecting the home with the car, with the garage, with the sprinkler. That’s “the Internet of Things” for the consumer,” says Lindsey Turrentine, editor-in-chief of the tech review, CNet.
Today’s world presents more and more devices aimed at offering consumers “smart homes”, where doors open and lights turn on automatically, and clever kitchens where everything is done via the Internet.
There are also drones, lots of them, with manufacturers betting on the fact that drone fever will remain
