It is expanding its premium EcoSmart line of backpacks and laptop cases. What makes them special? The company’s Andrew Corkill…

“We’re using recycled water bottles and we have a new line of cases too, which is called the Coastline Eco-Smart collection and that line is using plastic that we’ve recovered from the ocean. It’s called ocean bound plastic, so it’s plastic that is being kept away from the waterways, kept out of the ocean and being recycled and woven into material that then is made into bags and cases.”

With beautiful and spacious designs. The Coastline EcoSmart Backpack is priced at about 90 dollars.

So that you, Fred, could just go right from that search bar and say…I’m planning a birthday party for my daughter, she’s 7 years old, it’s unicorn themed and I have 35 dollars to spend. And rather than all that scrolling that you would have to do, you’d just get results back.”

Microsoft has Co-Pilot out there too now. If you think last year was big for AI…just wait.

Battery storage was a big category at this year’s CES…and one of the companies that attracted lots of attention was EcoFlow with the Delta Pro Ultra. It is a modular system that can be solar powered that can keep your home powered for days and days in an emergency. Communications Director Ryan Oliver…

“It’s scalable for up to a month’s worth of home backup storage. It can power large appliances as well as central Acs. You know anything you can throw at it. It is probably one of the most scalable solutions on the market. It is plug and play. You can start out pretty small with like a single battery unit and expand it all the way up to fifteen batteries.”

The system is designed to be smart and safe. The portability means you can use it to power RVs as well. For more info head to www.EcoFlow.com.

Human Touch….a company that has been around for more than four decades…had a lot to show off at the 2024 edition of CES. For instance…the Super Novo X massage chair…with swing open doors to get in…a great speaker system and dual robots…

“So you basically have two massage robots working on you at the same time. We liken to a four hand massage, like you had two masseuse working on you at the same time, that would be what it feels like.”

Director of Marketing Vicky Lledoc. And oh, we forgot to mention the price tag. You know what they say…if you have to ask… But for the record it’s fifteen thousand dollars. If that rubs you a little too hard….there are other models in the Human Touch line for a couple of thousand dollars on up at www.humantouch.com.
