Nothing New Under The Sun At CES

Overhype

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.
