My View from CES 2021: Day 1
E
What a difference a year makes! One year ago,
those of us who cover and attend CES were
going from one press conference to the next;
this year, we are at home going from link to
link. Confusing and challenging, yes, but there
are some advantages: no masks, only five steps
to get to a restroom, being able to have three of
four events or more displaying on your screens
at the same time and being able to download
press kits as needed. So far, many new devices
are being introduced, but of course, they are all
online, so you wonder if some of them really
exist or are truly operational as yet.
