CES 2024: A Look into the Future of Technology
My Experience
I just got back from CES 2024 in Las Vegas and it was wild. I intended on going to this event and making a vlog out of it, but I just felt like a total dork walking around holding up a camera and talking to myself throughout the event. So, I started to make a couple of clips, but it felt dumb, and I decided to just capture a whole bunch of b-roll instead and then share my experience of CES instead of trying to do it in that vlog style. Maybe someday I’ll feel comfortable doing that, but right now I still don’t.
My goal with this video is to not only show off all the cool tech that I came across, but to kind of give you an idea of what the CES experience is like, to share some of my thoughts about what’s in store for the future. Because when you go to an event like CES, you are literally looking into the future. You’re seeing what all of the biggest companies in the world, all of the brand new startup small companies in the world that are developing cool tech, and everybody in between are building and trying to put out to the world. So, you truly get this glimpse of “this is where everything is headed”. Now, some of the stuff that’s being built and shared will probably not take off and ever get picked up by normal consumers, but some of the stuff you see makes you go “wow, that’s gamechanging”.
I want to walk you through my experience, the cool stuff that I came across, and my thoughts about where all of this is headed. Now, it is practically impossible to describe the scale of this event without actually being there. The event spanned across something like 30 different venues, and there were over 100,000 people. I think one of the numbers I saw was 120,000 people come out to CES. The amount of the crowds and the amount of walking, and the amount of venues this is spread out across is just massive. It literally takes over the entire city of Vegas for the week, and there’s really just no way to describe the amount of people that are there and the amount of exhibits that you can possibly see.
