A humanist's takeaways from CES
Posted in: Uncategorized
Did you know the Consumer Electronics Show has been around for more than 50 years? And over the past half-century, some incredible innovations have been launched at the conference. In 1970 it was the first-ever home VCR, unveiled by Phillips. In 2002 Microsoft demonstrated a preview version of Windows XP Media Center Edition. Fast forward to 2008, when Bill Gates announced his retirement in a CES keynote speech.
Now that CES 2019 is rapidly retreating in the rearview mirror, it’s tempting to wonder how this year’s great tech conference will go down in history.
This year, CES could just as easily be remembered as standing for Creatively Evolved Stories. In the past few years, there have been no major breakout categories, but deep refinement of the ones that exist, so the ability to tell incredible stories is a gift. And this year – from nostalgic gadgets to the reality of 5G — storytelling and a creative evolution is at the core.
