LAS
VEGAS -
It’s
that
time of
year
again
when it
feels
like
Christmas
has been
extended
for
adults.
That
time
when
one’s
eyes
light up
and move
from one
exciting
object
to
another
to find
out what
has been
done to
make
life
more
interesting,
engaging
and fun.
Some
ideas
are
truly
revolutionary
while
others
cause
one to
pause
and try
to
assess
whether
or not
the idea
would
enhance
the
quality
of life
and make
the
mundane
more
appealing.
Most
humans
love
experimentation
and
change.
DIFFERENT
means
BETTER
or does
it just
appear
to be?
The
first
fascinating
vehicle
to
caught
my
attention
was the
BYTON.
Its
technology
was like
a James
Bond
movie.
The
keyless
entry is
done by
using
facial
recognition.
You are
then
ready to
just
swipe
your
fingers
to get
everything
moving.
Keep in
touch by
communicating
with
everyone
through
your
personal
contacts
seamlessly.
The data
security
is being
presented
as state
of the
art. If
there is
the
slightest
hint of
an issue
it will
be
detected
by Smart
Diagnosis.
Trip
Planning
can be
done by
matching
your
interests
and
fitting
activities
within
your
schedule.
The
Byton K
is being
planned
for
market
this
year for
a
starting
price of
$45k.
You can
get an
80%
electric
charge
in
approx.
3 min.
to send
you on
your
journey.
“Think
Mechanically
> Think
Digitally”.
You can
be the
proud
owner of
this
smart
looking
‘ride’
that has
the look
of a
sleek
SUV.
For
the man
looking
to get a
nudge
that it
is time
to move
because
he has
been
lounging
on the
sofa too
long
Or
that
last
bite of
steak,
potatoes
and
gravy
was a
bit much
Or
the
workout
planned
for
yesterday
did not
happen,
the
answer
may be
the
WELT.
This
is the
belt
that
does the
assessment
then
gives a
gentle
nudge
with
data to
get
moving.
This
smart
belt is
being
noted as
the
World’s
First
Smart
Belt.
Imagine
that
familiar
necessary
accessory
doing
double
duty.
The
2019 CTA

ready
for the
big
changes
coming
our way?
Last
30 years
were
spent
connecting
people.

years
will be
spent
connecting
things.
