Here's a report from the two days I spent late last week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. I attended in hopes of staying ahead of consumer trends that may affect The Californian's business.
There was tons going on as you might expect with thousands of exhibitors and more than 100,000 attendees, so I'll try to provide a lot of quick hits that highlight general trends rather than specific product features.
Long story short: Expect more technology around the corner that feeds short-attention spans and less on tools for long-form content. The ongoing challenge of fighting for consumers' time and money isn't going to get any easier for traditional news businesses competing against whiz-bang technology.
