We all love technology as it makes lives easier and increases efficiency. Consumer electronics have the latest innovation in terms of technology to make our lives at home way easier. Since in some cases it may be hard to keep up with the coming technology or to even know it, there are annual shows that have been made to cover this. One of this is the consumer electronics which is an annual trade show that happens every January and is organized by the Consumer Technology Association in Las Vegas. Some of the best innovations in the consumer electronics show include:

There are smart desktop speakers such as Echo that work well in any kitchen. Generally the innovation is a mic with artificial intelligence that is put in the wall and operates with Google assistant. It can also operate with a TV streaming box which is NVidia shield.
Home Robots for kids

This is a great innovation for those who don’t want to waste time in the shower. With Moen’s U shower system, you can use your smartphone to control the heat of your shower via Wi-Fi. The system has an app that gives you a notification when the desired temperature has been reached. Its limitation however is the price as it costs more than $1000 which many may not subscribe to.

Conclusion
There are many more innovations in the consumer electronics show that have not been listed but have been there in the previous years. There are also many more that are still under construction. It shows us that Artificial intelligence and virtual reality are here already. Due to the growing popularity of the show and demand, there is need for a special TV show to feature that so that many can have access to it other than having to look for it on the internet. There can be an innovation show showing all the innovations that have happened before. I’m pretty sure that the chances are high that with a TV show there will be even more participants in the consumer electronics show. As much as there are many innovations in the consumer electronics show, not many make it to the market either due to price or need for production funding or the idea itself. For example for the case of talking rubbish, not many find it a pressing need for talking as opposed to stepping on the peddle. Also the case of smart shower the price has been overrated.
