CES: Modern-Day Fantasy Island for Technology Fans
The 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is definitely a gadget-and-technology lover's paradise, and I know that most IT pros have a love of gadgets hardwired into their brains. You don't have to attend the show, which runs January 8-11, to get a great peek at some of the newest and most exciting technological innovations. One of the coolest things I've read about is the Dish Network "Slingloaded" digital video recorder, which lets Dish Network satellite TV subscribers view their recorded programs from a laptop or a smartphone. My husband, an avid TV watcher and Dish Network subscriber, is particularly happy about that one. Another intriguing innovation unveiled at CES is Sony's 3-D glasses for TV. I'm more of a book reader than a TV watcher, but still, when these things come of age, I might just have to buy a pair. A certain famous actor wore a prototype of the glasses at CES. They're snazzy, don't you think?
