Review of CES
There’s a reason the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is in Vegas every year…things look more real, better on the stage…you get entertained no matter where you turn. Once the stage show ends you go home, wake up the next morning with a throbbing head and wonder what you were thinking. There were some fantastic concepts, ideas, products shown at this year’s show. There were some good ones. There were some you-gotta-be-kiddin stuff. But best of all you got to see what was going to be real 3-5 years from now. This year it’s obvious we’ve got a lotta work ahead but damn it’s gonna be good, it’s gonna be fun.
At our General Meeting on February 10, 2016, Andy Marken will return to SPAUG and review some of the latest technology that was shown at CES.
Andy Marken is President of Marken Communications and has been involved in the marketing of storage technology for more than 25 years.
