IT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHOWCASES FOR TECHNOLOGY. THE CONSUMER ELECTRONIC SHOW OR C E S. >> FORESHADOWS ALL TYPES OF FUTURISTIC. FANTASTIC THINGS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE. AND THIS MORNING WE HAVE OUR BUDDY JOHN JOYCE, BACK WITH US. CO-OWNER OF CRA'S TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANTS GETTING US MORE ON WHAT CAUGHT THE ATTENTION AT THIS YEAR'S C E S. JOHN, GOOD TO SEE YOU. ALWAYS. OKAY. THIS IS WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU THE BREAK THAT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SEGMENTS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE INSIDE TRACK ON THE LATEST AND GREATEST NOTICE. DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WITH BECAUSE NONE OF IT OUT YET. BUT THIS WHERE THE FUN RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE YEAR. >> IT'S KIND OF IT KICKS OFF THE TECHNOLOGY CALENDAR IN A BIG WAY. CBS IS JUST NO TRADE SHOWS HAPPENED ALL YEAR LONG WITH THIS IS THE BIG ONE A SENSE BECAUSE SO MANY COMPANIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD GET TOGETHER AND THEY SHOWCASE NOT WHAT'S ON SHELVES TODAY. BUT WHAT THEY'RE HOPING TO HAVE ON SHELVES TOMORROW AND THROUGH THE REST OF THE YEAR AND SOMETIMES WELL BEYOND THAT. SO THEY'RE PREDICTING A NORMALLY THEY'RE RIGHT. THINK SO, RIGHT? YES, SOME FOLKS ARE THERE TO ANNOUNCE PRODUCTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE SHELVES. AND I'M JUST A FEW WEEKS OTHER TIMES, IT'S COMPANIES WITH A GREAT IDEA, BUT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR INVESTORS ARE WAYS TO THOSE PRODUCTS TO MARKET. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S SUCH A, YOU KNOW, IT REALLY IS THAT KICKOFF TO THE WHOLE YEAR. BUT WE ALSO GET TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHAT MIGHT WE SEE NEXT YEAR IN THE YEAR TO THE TRENDS, THEN KICK UP FOR YEARS AFTER THAT TOUR. SO WHAT CAUGHT YOUR EYE? ALL THERE'S THE STUFF THAT YOU KNOW I GET EXCITED ABOUT BECAUSE THE EYE I'M HONORED VIDEO GAMES. I LOVE STUFF LIKE THAT. WE GET WE GET PLENTY OF WITH SOME OF THE BIGGEST NEWS OUT OF C E S WAS FROM SOMEONE THAT WASN'T EVEN AT C E NINTENDO HAS THEIR NEW SWITCH COMING THIS AND THAT'S BEEN ONE OF THE HIGHEST-SELLING CONSULS IN HISTORY. BUT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS NOW FOR A NEW ONE. WELL, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE VERY GOOD AT THIS. SO THEY WHILE THEY WEREN'T EVEN OFFICIALLY AT THE THERE WERE SOME LEAKS AND RUMORS UP. AND THEN JUST DAYS LATER, THEY ANNOUNCED IN APRIL THEY'RE GOING TO BE AN UNOFFICIAL OFFICIALLY UNVEILING THE NEW SWITCH TO THIS YEAR. SO THAT'S JUST EVERY YEAR AT C E S. THERE'S ALWAYS THAT BIG STORY THAT TECHNICALLY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CS. BUT RIGHT EVERYONE WAS THERE WAS TALKING ABOUT IT. THAT WAS A BIG ONE. BUT BEYOND THAT, WHAT REALLY TOUCHED ALMOST EVERY VERTICAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AI IS ON EVERYTHING. AND IN A REAL WAY RIGHT NOW IN THIS MOMENT IS ABOUT WHAT WE SAY. IT'S WHAT THEY CAN PUT THE SIDE OF THE BOX. AND I REALLY, YOU KNOW, THIS PRODUCT MAY BE ALREADY EXISTED, BUT NOW IT'S GOT A I FOR SOME REASON. THAT'S BETTER. YEAH, I'M IN SOME CASES IT IS IMPROVING. THE PRODUCTS ARE MAKING THEM MORE USEFUL. BUT THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF MARKETING SPEND TO IT RIGHT NOW AS WELL. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGER TRENDS THROUGHOUT. IT WAS IN CARS THAT WAS ON THERMOSTAT ON OF AND SENT IT HER. BRINGING THIS TECHNOLOGY IS SO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES. SO THAT'S WHY TALK ABOUT THOSE TRENDS ARE GOING TO YEAR AFTER YEAR. THAT'S WHEN IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING ANYWHERE ANYTIME I'M IN THE MARKET FOR A LAPTOP AND YOU'RE RIGHT EVERYTHING SAYS COMPATIBLE I KNEW YOU WOULD HOPE. BUT. >> BUT WHICH ACTUALLY MEAN IT WAS LIKE, YEAH, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN THAT YOU SAID THAT CERTAIN NIGHT ROW BLAZE IS ONE THAT REALLY CAUGHT YOUR ATTENTION? YOU HAVE. SO THAT WAS A DIVISIVE. >> ACTUALLY, BRING BACK TO THE SWITCH, RIGHT? IS THIS, WHICH IS A HANDHELD GAMING CONSOLE, CAN ALSO HOOK UP TO A TV, A SUSAN. SEVERAL OTHER COMPANIES HAVE SEEN THAT TREND THAT SORT OF BUILDING THEIR DEVICES TOWARDS THAT AS WELL. BUT AFTER A BLAZE OF SUCH AN INTERESTING ONE, BECAUSE HANDHELD CAN MEAN SOMETHING DIFFERENT. A LOT OF FOLKS, YOU KNOW, WITH A VERY PORTABLE FROM BAG AND TAKEN WITH THE NIGER BLAZES HAS AN 11 INCH DISPLAY ON AT MASSIVE LOUDER TO SALE OF YES SMARTPHONE OR SOMETHING ALMOST IT'S BORDERING ACTUALLY. SO BE AWARE THOSE WORLDS COLLIDE AND WHERE THIS THAT'S WE START TO SEE THESE NICHE PRODUCTS FILLING THE GAP WHERE WE'VE GOT THE SWITCH ON ONE END OR THE VERY POPULAR STEAM DECK ON THE OTHER END. BUT MAYBE SOMEONE ONCE ON THAT ISN'T JUST TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE WITH THEM ON THE BUS. BUT THEY WANT TO BE ON THE COUCH BUT NOT TAKE OVER THE WHOLE TV WITH IT. I'VE GOT TO GET TO THESE 2. SPEAKING OF ON THE COUCH TO BE STEADY. SOMETIMES THERE'S REALLY, REALLY COOL RELEASES. HOW ABOUT THIS YEAR? CS IS AMONGST EVERYTHING ELSE. A TV THAT MOST OF YOUR BIG TV NEWS OF THE YEAR STARTS AT CS FOR THAT YEAR. SO >> THEY WERE ONCE AGAIN ALL OVER THE PLACE. YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE MANY LED IS TAKING OVER AND SO IF YOU'RE REALLY ONE BIG BRIGHT DISPLAYS WITH A TON OF GREAT CONTRAST AND CLARITY, MANY LED IS FOR YOU. BUT THE PRICES ARE STILL QUITE A BIT HIGH. ON THE FLIP SIDE, YOU HAVE SAMSUNG, ONE OF THE BEST SELLING TVS ON THE PLANET RIGHT NOW OBJECTIVELY ONE OF THE WORST TV'S YOU CAN BUY. ALL, THE PURSE AND HE'S NOT A GOOD FRIEND FOR TO MOVE THAT. WILL THEY HAVE A TON OF REALLY GREAT STUFF. BUT THIS ONE CALLED THE FRAME INCREDIBLY POPULAR, BUT NOT BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT TV. AGAIN, IT'S ACTUALLY A PRETTY BAD, TINA. BUT WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING IT AS ONE, IT TURNS INTO AN ART FRAME. YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING MAP DISPLAY. YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO AN ARTWORK ELECTION. BUT THE BIG THING IS YOU GOT THIS BIG BLACK RECTANGLE ON THE ALL THE HOURS THAT IT OFF DURING THE DAY HAVE IT BE SOMETHING ELSE PART OF YOUR DECOR. AS A RESULT, IT'S BECOME VERY, VERY POPULAR. EVEN THOUGH IT'S RELATIVELY PREMIUM-PRICED. BUT IT'S NOT A GREAT DISPLAY. IT'S WHAT IT'S GOOD AT BEING. IT'S NOT BEING A TV WITH INTEREST UNDERSTAND. I LOVE THAT. HOW ABOUT VEHICLES? SOMETIMES THERE ARE SOME AMAZING CARS, TRUCKS, YOU NAME. IT REVEALED. >> YOU'RE >> IS CS IS OBVIOUSLY A TV SHOW VIDEO GAMES OR WHATEVER PEOPLE, RIGHT. THAT'S ALSO VERY, YOU KNOW, SNEAKILY A CAR SHOW ALMOST EVERY MAJOR MANUFACTURER IS THERE TO TALK ABOUT. THE TECH OF IT ALL WHEN IT RELATES TO THOSE VEHICLES. BECAUSE ANYMORE, THESE ARE DRIVING COMPUTERS THAT ARE ON 4 WHEELS. I STILL GOT BUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THE SCREENS ARE GETTING I AS PRESIDENT, A LOT OF THESE THINGS. ONE OF THE SPLASH JUST WANT TO GET ITS BEEN A COUPLE YEARS COMING NOW IS SONY AND HONDA HAVE BEEN PARTNERED TOGETHER ON A VEHICLE CALLED THAT ONE WAS ANNOUNCED JUST A COUPLE YEARS AGO, BUT NOW IT'S ACTUALLY COMING TO MARKET FOR UPWARDS OF $100,000 ALLOWED, BUT POWER IS GOING TO PLAY STATION. IN THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT OF WHY THOSE TECH WORLDS COLLIDING LAU, AN INTERESTING STUFF OUT OF CS. ALL RIGHT. I I LOVE HEARING ABOUT >> WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BUZZWORD FOR THIS YEAR? I MEAN, WHAT WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FORWARD TO? THE BUZZWORD IS STILL LIKE? THE IS IT'S REALLY AND I DON'T WANT TO DOWNPLAY THE IMPORTANCE OF THERE'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD STUFF COMING OUT OF THAT SPACE. BUT RIGHT NOW BUZZWORD IS THE RIGHT WORD FOR IT BECAUSE IF YOU'VE GOT A PRODUCT THAT YOU WANT TO GET ATTENTION AROUND IT SLAPPING A EYE ON THE BUCS METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING IS I PROBABLY GOING TO GET YOU SOME AMOUNT OF THAT ATTENTION THAT THERE WILL BE REAL PRODUCTS TO COME FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S MOSTLY ABOUT GRABBING THAT ATTENTION SPACE. WHAT WERE SOME ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENTS THAT YOU SAW? ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS TO ME, AS YOU KNOW, THE SMART HOME IS STILL SUCH A VERY INTERESTING SPACE, BUT STILL GOT SUCH A LONG WAY TO GO. WE'RE FINALLY SEEING THESE COMPANIES TAKE SERIOUSLY HAVING THEIR PRODUCTS TALK TO EACH WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO BUY INTO JUST ONE ECOSYSTEM. WE DON'T WANT TO JUST GIVE UP OUR MONEY. JUST GIVE RIGHT WHERE AMAZON LIKE EACH OF THOSE COMPANIES HAVE GREAT PRODUCTS. BUT I DON'T WANT OR WE DON'T WANT EVERYTHING TO COME FROM JUST ONE OF THEM. SO THERE'S A STANDARD CALLED MATTER. IT'S FEEL GET STILL GOT A LONG WAYS TO GO. BUT WHAT IT'S BLING AS THESE PRODUCTS TO BE ABLE TO SEE EACH OTHER, COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND HAVE A MORE COHESIVE EXPERIENCE, BUT ALSO LEADS TO A MORE SECURE HOME AS WELL. BECAUSE WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO GET AS A LOT OF PRODUCTS THAT ALL HAVE TO GO OUT TO THE INTERNET TO DO EVERYTHING BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE HACKERS HOLD THEM AS WELL. OTHER WORDS, GOOGLE COULD ACTUALLY TALKED TO APPLE COULD TALK TO THAT. THAT'S THE JURY IN A NICE TO ALEXA. IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT SUCH EARLY TO GET RIGHT TO EARLY DAYS IN THAT SPACE. BUT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE IT'S AT LEAST GETTING THERE WHERE I'VE GOT A LIGHT SWITCH THAT, YOU KNOW, BOTH MY S I R I DEVICES CAN SEE AND MY GOOGLE DEVICES CAN SEE AND SO SO THE MORE THEY CAN DO THAT, THE MORE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU BOUGHT AS LONG AS THEY MEET THOSE STANDARDS. SO IT WHATEVER FITS BEST IN YOUR HOME. THE VERY PERSONAL SPACE. YEAH, FOR SURE. JOHN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE ALWAYS LOVE WHEN YOU COME IN IF YOU WANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH CRS TECHNOLOGIES, JOHN. >> THERE ARE SOME OF THE BEST IN TOWN AND IT WILL HELP OUT. SOME MANY OF US ARE NOT A SMART IS THAT WE'RE NOT THINKS IS YOU CALLED
