.
Well I am sitting at the airport right now coming home from the consumer
electronics show. I just got through airport security and they are now
making EVERYONE go through the XRAY machines. I opted out and went for
the full groping. Many people were opting out. This is the first
time I have seen everyone guided to the xray machines. Kinda freaked
me out. The TSA guy was giving me the rules and I could not keep my
mouth shut. I said I can't believe this as he was feeling me all over.
He then said to me real quiet "I would never put my family through those
machines". I was shocked. He also stated "you will not see any more
metal detectors in a couple weeks, everyone will have to be scanned".
After hearing that I my mind was racing. I said no more. I just
wanted to yell "Nazi police state is here" but I went on my way.
.
Now to the show......
The CES is the biggest electronic show in the world. I have been coming
to this show for years. This year had the largest attendance in
history. It was very packed. This show showcases all of the new
technology that is coming out in the future. The show gives you a
heads up on the way things are going. These are the things that blew
me away and stood out.
.
#1. Cds dvds and all other "hard" media are history. Everything is
digital or downloadable or streaming. Flash memory is king. The new
hard drives for computers have no moving parts. Amazingly fast. The
new car stereos have no more slot for the cd. The face flips down and
your ipod, phone, or jump drive hides inside. Look

Google TV from Sony here...watch the full thing...I think you will be as impressed as I was!!

#3. As I mentioned above. The smart phone is king. Your phone will be your link to everything. It will be your link to the net, your mp3 player, camera, video recorder, planner, social networking device, on and on. The new Motorola from Verizon that comes out at the end of February sports two 1ghz processors and is fast as lightning. It also packs an HD screen that is crystal clear. Your phone will do it all. You think your phone can do incredible stuff now? Just wait.
#4. The 3D TV thing. Well, This is a huge push and I am telling you it is pretty lame in my opinion. The 3D is okay but this technology will never work with these stupid glasses. It just does not feel like the movie theater. I went from Samsung to LG and then to Sony. You have to be right in front of the TV and the glasses are horrible. It is a gimmick and I really think until they can figure something better out it is a 100% fail.
#5. Another hot item everybody was playing with was the Toshiba Touch screen laptop. IT HAS 2 SCREENS....Talk about coolness.....

#6 Another hot item that was taking over the show was the innovation of LED lighting. The new 1 Watt and 3 Watt LED indoor light bulbs are incredible. No more fluorescent or incandescent light bulbs. They last 50,000 hours and come in all kinds of colors. These use almost ZERO energy in comparison to everything else. Now...currently Phillips has some of these out at home depot...they are $29 each which is insane. On Ebay...they are like $2 to $8. I have my entire house loaded with LED and it cut my electric bill way down. This is the way it all is going to go. Do your research. Here are a couple I got. I used these under my cabinets. The local store wanted $54 each.... Look.
