“For one week a year, the attentions of the global technology industry are pulled away from Silicon Valley, and are dragged a few hundred miles east to Sin City.
Las Vegas, a city whose smoke-filled casinos and gaudy architecture make it seem frozen in time, may not seem the most obvious hotspot for innovation, but every January it aims to provide a window into the future. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), a jamboree that goes back more than five decades, is the biggest tech show on earth.
This week, almost 200,000 people and 4,000 companies will squeeze into Vegas’s hotels and conference centres in an attempt to set the tone for the year. ”
