Why CES 2023 sucked

I’m back from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Long-time listeners know I look forward to attending this event every year… playing with the latest gadgets… and talking to thousands of companies about what’s shaping the tech landscape. But this year’s show was a total letdown. I share the handful of issues that left me disappointed with this year’s event… along with a few highlights worth mentioning… For one, 3D printing is making progress going mainstream. I tried out a great new app that let me scan my face to make my own 3D-printed action figure. And for the first time in CES history, the metaverse had a major presence. I explain how the metaverse industry will evolve in a similar way to what we’ve seen in streaming services… and who I think will become “the Netflix of the metaverse.”  I also share one of the coolest experiences of the weekend: A virtual reality afterparty… in Jurassic Park.
