CES is clear: People want tech to improve their everyday lives

The new year often brings a lot of anticipation in the world of tech - it's that time of the year where discussions and predictions about new technology dominate conversations within the tech industry and its most avid customers.

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is one annual event that perfectly captures this anticipation. From robotic butlers to the most innovative product demos, it’s a moment designed to capture the imagination of the tech industry.

Be it new product categories or ever-refined smart features on already beloved tech, CES makes headlines every year by showcasing the limitless potential of our industry - one that has grown exponentially as Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes a more powerful tool for creativity and utility. However, this year saw tech exhibitors move away from proof-of-concept announcements and towards real-world applications.
