The 2014 International CES kicks off next week. With more than 3,200 exhibitors launching and showcasing thousands of products, it’s one of the biggest trade shows in the world, and this year’s show will be better than ever. We’ll see the physical and digital worlds blended like never before, thanks to gadgets like the Galaxy Gear and Google Glass. But what are those gadgets without content? Content is king at CES this year, and we’re going to see exactly what the future holds for streaming content. Some of what we saw last year is set to be even bigger this year; between driverless cars, consumer health care and robots, we got a first-hand glimpse at the future of the industry last year. Next week, we’ll see it in full e ffect. To keep up in the world of tech, you must be diligent. You need to think about what new tech really means and how it will change consumer behavior. That’s what CES is about. I’ll see you there.
