Like I mentioned last week, I’m less jaded about covering CES than some of my colleagues.

While the annual tech trade show can be an ordeal to navigate—exhibits span two entire convention centers, and there’s a slew of offsite meetings—it’s a rare chance to get up-close with a staggering number of gadgets. Sometimes you can even talk to the people who helped make them without the usual layers of PR interference. I always leave feeling smarter about the state of consumer technology than when I arrived.
