(Much) more digital action – TU

In a few years running the cars mostly even, with electric propulsion. Drones will during the year willingly follow their own terrain and between trees and shrubs. And maybe you’ll see even neighbor aboard his own personal drone.

You will always know where the dog or junior is. And your home will be filled with sensors that control temperature, lighting, security and entertainment. The fridge keeps even track of the contents – and what you have to act, whereas one health gizmo after another tells you what you should do more or less of.

Before retiring for the evening will toothbrush tell you if you have plastered often and well enough. If not, it will protest against being put back into standby mode – or book dental appointments.

Rift about Oculus

This week was 49. Once the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was held . The place is Las Vegas in the Nevada desert – and the event was bigger than ever. The town was filled with a few hundred thousand technology geeks are restless looking for the next treat.

For it is well just admit it, critical voices are rather absent when the technology industry gather for their annual and eventually fabled product party.

This is where Intel CEO Brian Krzanich going to tell you about the company’s increasingly impressive processors – which now also specialized (model name Curie) for use in both snowboarding helmets industrial and sneakers.

In addition, the Intel course performance processors for traditional use in computers. One of the most demanding applications for processing power is gaming. Esport emerging as one of the world’s most extensive of tournaments and competition venues. And when Esporte outermost practitioners meet, it should go fast. And preferably they should even be placed graphically in ever more sophisticated games.

Also Oculus Rift (owned by Facebook) choose CES when the hours release of VR glasses of the same name.

Those who wanted to escape to for a demo of Oculus’ latest version, had to stand in the hour long queues around the cubic giant booth. It swarmed by curious VR fans, which incidentally also had many other goodies with the among exhibitors about. This year it was still Oculus who stole VR show.

Big business

But VR will be filled with content. And it must also YouTube. What could be more natural, then, that both the chief of GoPro, Nick Woodman, and the man with business responsibility for YouTube, Robert Kynci, holds show to show and tell what we can expect in the future.

Should we believe the statistics growth indications, we will soon not going to do anything but produce and consume video content – and increasingly produced and shown as VR.

Then it’s also the CES he coming, boss of Netflix, Reed Hastings, when he will launch rollout of the service to “the rest of the world minus China.” To throw extra luster to the launch, takes him Narcos-star itself, actor Wagner Moura, who plays Pablo Escobar in the series.

CES delegates pilgrimages from one release to the other to get increasingly new refills in its greed for quantum leap that can make life even more digital and entertaining. And profitable. For this is also about really big business. For an increasing number of sectors and industries.

The fleet is electrically

In this way also the automotive drawn to CES. This is where General Motors chief executive, Mary T. Barra, going to launch the latest version of the electric car, Bolt EV. Cheap car that also will go far. It is also used CES Volkswagen top and engineer Herbert Diess troops up to apologize to the world after having cheated with software. As an apology he launches the Group’s future electric vehicle (platform) Budd-e, with a veritable treat of a design.

Only during the months major auto done an about-face and renewed clarity of future goals and visions. The vehicle fleet is electric. And the cars are going to run itself. Future cars will become much more environmentally friendly and will save the world for hundreds of thousands of traffic accidents annually. Case closed.

Samsung’s president and CEO, BK Yoon, invited of course also to keynote with 3000 technology-hungry listeners. The Group offers enhancement of increasingly thinner PCs and highlighted its unique battery technology as one of the premises to connect the worlds gadgets and sensors to the resource your personal digital network of wireless gadgets come to represent.

Besides EVEN bigger and better TV screens, is now taking Samsung also over your refrigerator and connects both light and chime (with video) to the TV screen. No, it’s not going to be cheap to acquire the smart home. But when money is spent and credit card is maxed out, you can enjoy innovations with a film on the world’s largest series-produced SUHD TV at 170 inches.

Should the creditors come unannounced at the door, you have full control over the TV on who is outside. Do not open up while you enjoy the whole series from Netflix.

Apple dropper CES

If something is said to be lacking at this year’s CES, there must be a little puny efforts from 3D people . The most exciting – and something everyone talks about – is the absence of the world’s most valuable company, Apple.

From Apple we only met Siri – the voice that drives the increasingly enhanced voice service in their iOS. She is also a woman of flesh and blood, and called Susan Bennett.

This year’s CES suggests that digitization sheer power increases. Both consumers and producers want more. Faster. The corollary is the many controversies and discussions about ethics, legislation and policy that will both and must come.

Such themes are placed largely on the time when it is CES-time. Then it is possible that applies – and most hope that “what happens in Vegas, will not stay in Vegas.”

Even Este Siri displays in CES. Her name is Susan Bennet and had no idea what she really helped when she read the thousands of words and phrases. The work was done before Apple bought Siri. Photo: Jan M. Moberg
