<\/p>\nCES, or the Consumer Electronics Show, is held in Las Vegas in early January. This show typically defines the trends in home electronics, technologies and software for the upcoming year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am not going to tell you about all the new hardware introduced at CES 2016 \u2013 we have TheVerge, Mashable or Engadget for that. Instead, I went to the show with the goal in mind to use my impressions to analyze the direction that humanity is heading into as well as how secure this inevitable connected future will be.<\/p>\n
Judging by this year\u2019s show, humanity has not progressed much. Whereas every second booth I\u2019d see would boast the word \u2018Innovation\u2019, actual innovations were rarely seen around the tradeshow. For me, \u2018innovation\u2019 means you have no idea how to answer simple questions like \u2018What is this thing?\u2019 As your product is truly unparalleled and unique. When you present a real innovation, you have to think hard and choose the right words to describe it.<\/p>\n
This is exactly how I felt when I got a chip implanted under my skin<\/a>. That was new. But let\u2019s be honest, there is nothing new in words like \u2018drones,\u2019 \u2018virtual reality,\u2019 \u2018smart car,\u2019 or \u2018Wi-Fi enabled fridge\u2019. I am not trying to undervalue these inventions, I\u2019m just stating a fact: they are so yesterday. However, the lack of truly innovative tech at this year\u2019s CES makes it even easier to outline the key trends on the market.<\/p>\n Spoiler for next week's blogpost. I'm ready for a chip that is alive. #Biohacking<\/a> #BionicManDiary<\/a> #security<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/aZBAajonO0<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Evgeny Chereshnev (@cheresh) March 6, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
