Talking Tech: 3 things we learned from CES 2021
Welcome back, Talking Tech readers! This is co-host Brett Molina here to bring you the latest headlines in tech.
It's January, which means CES season. The tech bonanza, known previously as the Consumer Electronics Show, provided glimpses into the future of tech, both immediate and way down the road (sorry, no flying cars this year).
Now that the robots have powered down and CES wraps up another year, here's a look at three things we learned:
1. Making you more comfortable at home
As you recall, CES was all virtual this year, thanks to the pandemic. With tech makers well aware of the amount of time you spend at home, there were plenty of products aimed at making you comfortable. Can't go to the movies? Consider the wide selection of TVs that seem to grow larger by the day for your own personal home theater. Need help keeping your home in order? Here's a handy robot capable of loading the dishwasher and letting you kick your feet up as they pour a glass of wine (or beer or other beverage of your choice).
2. Tech to keep you safe, too
We live in an era with smart toothbrushes, so it's no surprise CES would deliver a way to smarten up the masks we wear amid the pandemic. For example, the AirLoop featured a sensor measuring the air around you and your breathing rate. Another mask, the Maskfone, combines a mask with wireless buds. But it goes beyond what you wear on your face. There are backpacks to help ward off germs and robots roaming indoor spaces zapping pollutants in the air with ultraviolet light.
3. Hands off this tech
In this age when we worry about germs, what better tech than the touchless variety? Companies like Kohler and Moen unveiled various touchless products including a faucet with a pre-programmed hand-washing feature to ensure you are keeping those hands clean.
