The new technology is becoming more personal, so personal that advances towards connectivity and analysis of our movements, health, brain and everyday devices such as clothing, cars, light bulbs and appliances.
The so-called ‘internet of Me’ or customized internet is one of the main themes of the International CES 2015 in Las Vegas. However the challenge facing developers is to make this communication is useful and generate benefits for consumers.
More and more inventions exhibited at CES are linked to forms of health care (such as trainers or nutritionists digital) or to information resources to make better cars or other devices, said Shawn DuBravac, chief economist for the Consumer Electronics Association Articles. “The key to all this is that what happens in the physical space is scanned by us before being introduced back into physical space,” he said. “Whether the focus is on what can be done technologically, but is technologically significant.”
Some new devices on display included applications to monitor and improve the quality of sleep, a bottle to measure child nutritional intake, and sensors to analyze the launch of golf itself and compare it to the professionals. Smart clothes, smoke detectors connected and dozens of new smart watches and devices for physical training are also in the sample.
Smart Watches and other electronics ‘wearables’ are more prominent at the show than before. These new technologies “continue the trend of bringing the internet for personal use” DuBravac said. “Nothing it becomes more personal garments of use,” he added, referring to the wearables.
He said that this represents a “third phase of the internet”, after personal computers and mobile devices, to garments use and other connected objects. “We are taking the internet now 2,000 million smart to 50,000 million objects phones,” he said.
“The internet is going to new places, for example the doll. And you see that in all shows (…) is not just about sharing and disseminating information, but that the way we use the internet will change “.
The CES 2015 is one of the largest trade fairs in the world dedicated to technology, with over 36,000 exhibitors and an estimated audience of 160,000 people. The event also presents new big screen televisions HD, and a number of drones for personal and industrial uses. It also includes sections for robotics and automotive technology.
The exhibition opens amid a confusing economic outlook for the global technology industry.
The Consumers Association of Electronic Goods (CEA) , which organizes the event, said technology spending rose just 1 percent in 2014 to reach 1.024 trillion, although it is too early to know what will be the trend for 2015.
The Marketplace is being driven by strong demand for new products such as tablets and smartphones in emerging economies in Asia, and economy growth moderated in North America.
The picture is not clear by economic stagnation in the euro area and Japan, and “weak expectations” in large emerging economies such as Brazil, said analyst Steve Koenig CEA. Russia, another major emerging economy is being hit by economic sanctions that could affect spending on technology.
The CEA predicted a drop of 5 percent in Europe and Latin America, and it remains unclear whether the rest take over the world.
Koenig added that sales of smartphones and tablets are growing apace in China and other developed economies, and the demand for new televisions is being guided by a “robust cycle upgrade “to” ultra “high definition.
