All Things TechIE Podcast - Episode 110Welcome back to the All Things TechIE Podcast, episode 110! We're diving into the latest tech trends and news in 2025. From the jaw-dropping innovations at CES like the AI-powered wearables and the sustainable Flint paper battery to Facebook's data protection drama with the EU. 

As is tradition, the beginning of the year beckons the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This annual gathering showcases innovative gadgets redefining consumer technology. Whether it's groundbreaking AI devices or sustainable energy advancements, CES promises to intrigue and inspire tech lovers again.

Wearable AI Devices: Among the innovations is this AI gadget, offering users the option to wear it as a headset or as a necklace around the neck, all for a price of $90. This device unites with over 250 apps, assisting consumers with an easy flow of ideas and translating demands. Of course, the need for physical devices is queried when considering the functionality of Bluetooth devices that can achieve similar tasks.

The AI buzz swirled intensely during CES. Devices like NatureOS-infused AI headphones illustrate how users increasingly integrate AI into daily life and experiences. These human pods, while convenient, prompt questions about over-reliance on technology for decision-making and personal tasks. Is AI advancement moving too swiftly? The lines between innovative and intrusive blur, and the balance in tech integration becomes more paramount.

Flint Paper Battery: Shifting focus to sustainability, the Flint Paper Battery emerges as a game-changing innovation. A battery crafted from paper, it aligns with the global push for greener technology, offering rechargeability paired uniquely with eco-conscious materials.

Suction Mountable TV by Displace: Another eye-catcher is the suction mountable TV, a truly wireless design emphasising flexibility in placement, with suction-based wall mounting making installations a breeze.
