Home, Sweet Tech Home

By

Las Vegas’ Chapel of Love has attracted many a lovebird, and two organizations with vested interests in seeing the ‘home of the future’ become a reality were also smitten in Sin City.  

The National Association of Home Builders, or NAHB, and CEDIA, an international trade association of companies that specialize in designing and installing electronic systems for the home, announced on Thursday a cooperative program, called The Home Technology Alliance. The deal will focus on ‘home technology integration’ and communicate the benefits of partnering with CEDIA Members as well as demonstrate the opportunities for providing better service to homeowners regarding technology, according to the company statement.

Digital Trends’ Top Tech of CES 2023 Awards
Best of CES 2023 Awards Our Top Tech from the Show Feature

Let there be no doubt: CES isn’t just alive in 2023; it’s thriving. Take one glance at the taxi gridlock outside the Las Vegas Convention Center and it’s evident that two quiet COVID years didn’t kill the world’s desire for an overcrowded in-person tech extravaganza -- they just built up a ravenous demand.

From VR to AI, eVTOLs and QD-OLED, the acronyms were flying and fresh technologies populated every corner of the show floor, and even the parking lot. So naturally, we poked, prodded, and tried on everything we could. They weren’t all revolutionary. But they didn’t have to be. We’ve watched enough waves of “game-changing” technologies that never quite arrive to know that sometimes it’s the little tweaks that really count.

The most influential women in tech history
Annie Easley poses for a picture at NASA.

Tech is a notoriously male-dominated space. According to a recent Statista survey, more than 90% of software developers identified as male as of 2021, and fewer than 6% identified as female. But don't let these disheartening stats fool you. Despite being underrepresented in STEM professions, women have made some massive contributions to technology over the years.

For Women’s History Month, we wanted to highlight a few of these influential women, and showcase how their contributions to the world have changed things for themselves, those who came after them, and society at large.

The weirdest tech we spotted at CES 2022

I think we can all agree that one of the best parts of any CES is seeing all the weird, wacky, and borderline insane products that surface at the show. You know what I'm talking about: It's the suitcases with ears, the cuddling robots, and all the other stuff that makes you scratch your head and wonder how somebody had the drive and determination to follow through with such a strange idea. So in the spirit of celebrating all the wonderfully odd things that make it to the Consumer Electronic Show against all odds, we've rounded up a modest collection of the weirdest tech we spotted this year.
