Thirty-two years ago, the videocassette recorder was the hottest thing around. The compact disc player was big news in 1981, while the digital satellite system caught everyone's eye in 1994. Each of these innovations made their first public appearances at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the 2002 edition of which continues here all this week.
In the last few years, the consumer electronics industry's goals have shifted to make the house a more connected place to relax, work, socialize and learn. The new technologies and products being developed are simple to use, so consumers from all walks of life can benefit from the personalized experiences now being realized and developed.
