LAS VEGAS - Televisions are getting larger, sharper, and more stunning. Internet devices are getting thinner, lighter, and more offbeat. Everything - from your car to your home to your tea kettle, toothbrush, or belt - is getting smarter and more connected.
And 50 years after Intel cofounder Gordon Moore boldly predicted that the power of electronic circuits would continue to grow at exponential rates, innovators from across the globe are still imagining new ways to use them.
International CES is no longer the "Consumer Electronics Show," and not just because of its worldwide reach. It has also reached far beyond the simpler sector it was named for - even if TV-makers still take up vast swaths of floor space. Electronics now reach into nearly everything.
Moore's latest successor at the helm of Intel, Brian Krzanich, told an keynote-address audience Tuesday that 2015 would be "the beginning of the next technology consumer wave" - likening it to 1995, when the Web was in its infancy and the first search engines appeared.
