International CES and the Storage Visions 2015

Christmas to most if not all Christians, symbolizes not just the birth of a Savior but also the beginning of Miraculous, Mysterious, Magical, and Mind-Boggling Matters. Jesus’ conception by the Blessed Virgin Mary is one such example.

As Jesus Christ went about His Mission on Earth, He performed Miracles that proved to be Magical, Mind-Boggling, and in fact, Mysterious.  Many people who became Saints were gifted to perform similar acts.

While we read about them and faithfully believed them, we were not lucky to be around and witness them.  We just believed that the Holy Spirit granted these mortal beings with knowledge and skills to produce exceptionally unique products.

On January 3, 2015, I will be in Las Vegas, Nevada – the Sin City. I will attend again as I have done for several years now, the International CES – the world’s largest show and gathering of individuals and companies involved in the consumer electronics industry.

The expectation is that there will be at least 20,000 new products and technologies that will be launched, demonstrated, and displayed. As a member of the Press, I write about many of these new technologies that I consider amazing and unique. I usually ask the CEO or the PR representative of the firm to answer this question:  “Do you consider your product as mind-boggling, magical, miraculous, or mysterious?”

Published by the Asian Journal USA (out of San Diego) offline, online and digital editions, my articles on these awesome technologies attracted wide readership and reactions as well as interest from PR firms representing technology and electronic companies.

As of today, I have received about 700 invitations from PR representatives to interview the CEOs, to attend Press Conferences, receptions, or to visit their booths.  I am sorting out the invites and respond based on my pre-determined priorities. Some have even sent sample products for review.

Ironically, in the Sin City, gathered together will be people who are gifted like Saints who apparently created mind-boggling, magical, miraculous, and even mysterious products that benefit mankind.

The conference and show exhibit physical devices that make life more comfortable and convenient at home, at the office, in the car, in schools and universities, in your body, and anywhere. Amidst all these, the event is also about contents – data, information, knowledge, intelligence, education, entertainment, texts, documents, music, audio, video, photos and many more.

This is why prior to the CES show on January 6-9, 2015, I am also attending as a Press member, the Storage Visions 2015 Conference being held at Riviera Hotel on January 4-5, 2015. The event is about digital storage both in digital devices and in the cloud.

Contents require that they be stored or even archived so that they could be retrieved anywhere and anytime and as fast when needed.

When we introduced the eBook technology in the Philippines, we used to say that one (1) megabyte (MB) of memory could store one (1) thousand pages of documents. So, one gigabyte (GB) could accommodate one (1) million pages.  Which means that if you have 128 gigabytes (GB), 128 million pages could be stored.

If the 128 GB is inside your iPhone, iPAD or Smartphone, you can virtually have the entire National Library of the Philippines in your pocket or in your hands.

Suppose you have one (1) Terabyte or 1000 Gigabytes? Or one (1) Petabyte, which is 1000 Terabytes? Or even one (1) Exabyte, which equals 1000 Petabytes?

Compute!

It is indeed mind-boggling to imagine how much contents could be stored and retrievable when needed.

And we are not even talking about the cloud! Amazon.com, which bought the eBook technology that we introduced in the Philippines, is offering UNLIMITED Storage for Photos for Prime members. That is just a start. 

UNLIMITED KNOWLEDGE here we come!
