In this hallway conversation, Benedict Evans and Steven Sinofsky discuss CES 2018 and share insight on what they took from this year's show. How much can you discern each company's 'big picture' strategy out of the slew of new products and press releases and announcements that flood the floor? How do you sort the wheat from the chaff?

And beyond the event of CES itself, Evans and Sinofsky analyze the experimentation we're beginning to see in this new dawn of connected consumer electronics for the home. When it comes to the smart home, it can seem as though more is better -- more devices, more connectivity, and a single network to rule them all. But that isn't at all the case. How (and when) will these devices and appliances -- some of which you only buy new every 10-20 years -- all connect into one system, and what will that platform look like? Which devices will we actually need to be smart, and what will be today's equivalent of the electric carving knife? What new connected home devices need what kind of UI, and when will a simple "GO" button be the better option?
