As I reported earlier, the CES Expo and Conference is being
held in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 5-9, 2016. Like in previous years, I
attend it as a credentialed member of the Press representing Asian Journal USA.
As of today, I have received over a hundred invitations
coming from companies worldwide in order to witness, checkout and review their
new creations, inventions, and innovations. The latter is composed mostly of
new technologies that affect the lives of consumers.
There are also significant events that I thought that we
should not miss. Worth mentioning in this column is a Press Release coming from
CES’ Consumer Technology Association.
