Nothing New Under The Sun At CES
from the bright,-shiny-and-dull dept
While there have been plenty of articles talking about how wonderful all the cool gadgets were at CES last week, not everyone agreed. Over at the Inquirer they're complaining that it was all just more of the same - with some evolutionary advancements, but nothing revolutionary. The biggest noticeable change, though, was that everything had some sort of wireless component attached to it, whether or not it made sense. Of course, perhaps this evolutionary change isn't such a bad idea. We're always rushing forward with brand new products that people don't full understand, which never make the market splash they're expected to. Perhaps it's good that consumer electronics makers are focused on taking what's already out there and making it better.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
