The CES we have grown to love is ending. Not sure CES realizes it yet. If you are like me, you both love and hate this time of year. Love it because this is the time of year when the Consumer Electronics Show comes to Las Vegas. Hate it for the same reason. We haven’t even recovered from the holiday season. CES is still important, but the marketplace is changing. Today, CES is more about the sizzle and less about the steak. The Wave is starting to pass it by. Unless the Consumer Electronics Association updates its Wave or creates a new one, the show will start to unwind over the next few years.
