Wow, the CES....
It brings back old memories from when I was with the exhibitors, but that was almost 40 years ago when CB radio was the hottest thing going, hahaha
No PCs or Cellphones in those days.

I sometimes think we would be much better off if life could be as it was then....
No internet or cellphones.

I think I know what you mean, a simpler time, but going backwards never helped.

I’m not sure I would put 3D and tablets on the same level of the internet and cell phones, which literally provide me with work.

...and yes I agree with the author, the show was lackluster.

overwhelmingly Asian.

Disturbingly crowded, with much bumping, banging, and one way traffic without any rules of the road inside the various venues.

I still learned a lot. It is usually an educational experience, at least for me.

And the consumer could actually go to the show. The CES is not open to the general public anymore, I forgot what year they changed it.
