Companies big and small will take over the ...Strip and Las Vegas Convention Center, debuting their latest and greatest offerings, and a good helping of fly-by-night products that’ll never see the light of day.

That will include everything from AI-focused PCs to new chips. But robots are looking like they’ll steal the spotlight....
“Every year CES has a theme. And sometimes you don't know what it is until you get to the show, and everybody's talking about it” explained Kinsey Fabrizio, president of the Consumer Technology Association trade organization, which runs CES.
“But we can tell you right now, robotics is going to be talked about … big time at CES.”

Dang, that took me forever, and I still have some mess ups on my post.
I went to the Chicago CES during finals week in 1983. It was incredible. Back then, no online announcements. It happened there, and a lot if technologies were starting at the same time… CDs, ColecoAdam, 2GB Worm drives, IBM clones, 10 lb portable computers from NEC and Toshiba, big screen TVs, fancy answering machines. The magic will never again be what it was.
Cousins,
Fascinating to me. I was born in 1984, so obviously this would’ve been well before my time, but one of my favorite subjects is computing history. I love collecting the old 8-bit relics and have several Commodore machines on the collection shelf.
Did you happen to see some of their stuff during your time at CES 1983?
I was just starting to be a video game writer, but had mostly dedicated systems. I knew Coleco, Atari, CPM, MSX, but not Apple II or Comm 64. I knew someone with a Commodire PET in the 70s. Good keyboard, Excellent sound chip (favored by phreakers), but the floppy drive was the slowest thing imaginable. At that time, Amiga was an independent joystick company. Jack Tramiel was a visionary.
I attended Comdex throughout the 90’s. We’d print up our own attendance tickets with made up company names.
While there, I *was* going to visit Hooters, but I guess that's out.🦉😉
What to expect from the tech industry parts from the auto industry of failed electronic parts sales are up invest now.
