elcome to the latest edition of Five Technology Trends to Watch. This annual Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) publication looks at the new technologies that will shape our future. I remain optimistic despite the challenges to the economy. The consumer technology industry continues to show promise with sales expected to reach $172 billion for 2009. This year we look at the evolution of content, connected devices in the home, TV beyond HD, connected cars and the smart grid. The publication also takes a peek at the future of CE. For example, IBM is working to develop artificial DNA nanostructures as a framework to build the tiny microchips used in electronics devices. Although still many years out, this work could one day impact how we build, operate and interact with electronics.
CES in Las Vegas, Nev. from January 7-10? Come to CES to see the latest products and services from more than 2,000 exhibitors including 300 who are brand new to the show. CES includes more than 200 conference sessions that feature 600 technology experts. The focus is on product categories like digital entertainment, wireless, digital imaging, computing and networking, audio, video, in-vehicle technology and accessories for the home, office and road. To see award-winning technology, check out the Innovations Design and Engineering Awards showcase that honors achievement in product and engineering design and the winner of the i-stage competition held at CEA’s Industry Forum who will have a booth at CES.
