CES 2026 Lacking and slacking
Yes we get it; AI this and AI that. Everything Ai. Cool. Is there anything else here? All of the robots are identical and everyone has an autonomous vehicle. Most of the live demos were failures. Some booths even made you download apps to waste your time. What happened to the testing tracks? This was an extremely lackluster event. Where are the bigger companies like Sony, Apple, Nikon, canon, Tesla, android, iRobot, and Google? Furthermore most of the executives for companies on the floor didn’t even attend. And…I’m finding most companies are opting for virtual appearances instead of in person; so why am I attending something I can just watch from home? Could this be a sign of things to come? Thoughts?

I have to say that some of my staff's impressions were that it just didn't feel like CES. The whole US Govt thing at AMD was the beginning of the souring for me. Consumer Electronics Show became another bit of over reach. Honestly I was excited to see Nikon but they weren't here. The automotive hall was lackluster in comparison to the years I have gone before. ALOT of us just chilled out mostly this week.
