this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by audible what's up everyone welcome back there episode of a rumor roundup this is close to a year and round up we got CES literally right around the corner so I thought it'd be fun to make my predictions for the top trends we are going to see at CES 2014 it started the CES has changed a lot over the years used to be where all the companies would announce their crazy new products and then those crazy new products started to get announced on their own events people didn't want to sort of get lost in the way of CES news and even out to product on Monday and it's all the rage and somebody else does anything on Tuesday and everybody's forgotten about what happened the day before but I think we're going to see a lot of new trends this year at CES I think the first thing we're going to see our wearables whether or not it's a watch or some sort of glasses or a smart bracelet even smart wigs we've seen patents form looking at you sony I think wearables are gonna be a huge trend this year at the show next and we saw a 4k last year but they were just gigantic flagship sets that costs like thirty forty thousand dollars I think this is the year that 4k becomes affordable in the three thousand to four thousand dollar range for most smart televisions so looking at you know Sony sharp samsung the big manufacturers out there I think we're going to see a lot of 4k and 4k maybe not just on televisions but maybe even 4k on a smaller screen 4k tablets hour perhaps 2k tablets and phones might make an appearance at the show next continuing the windows a trend convergent a blog flames are the tablets that bend and fold and have laptop docks really Windows 8 is ushering a crazy new era of device thing that's going to continue will see new yoga models and tablets that have all kinds of crazy ways to hide their keyboard or take the tablet side off I think it should be a pretty cool thing to see next automotive really have taken a bigger part of CES we're going to see a lot from the automotive world how technology can integrate into the cards whether or not I thought onymous driving for example see a lot of luxury vehicles Audi's had a really big presence there as well the new ford fusion was announced there i believe two years ago so a lot of car technology is going to be there I think major auto manufacturers trying to look at CES is a great platform to launch new cars next home automation becoming a really big thing like we're gonna see a huge push behind that to really maintain your whole home from your smartphone or tablet or really from any website you know I'm visioning a world where you walk down to your kitchen lights turn on coffee maker starts going TV clicks on or maybe got a tablet in the wall that starts showing you your newspaper whatever it might be that's kind of why I'm envisioning near the future Enox futures coming very very very soon of course we'll see a ton of phones that'll get a noun sound like we're gonna see a real big jump to octo-core quite yet again we might see some screens and I think there might be some little tiny news about battery improvements which I'm hoping will make their way into new phones of course Gorilla Glass usually announces their new screens as well take a minute to thank our friends and sponsors at audible.com they're the leading provider of downloadable digital audiobooks and spoken word entertainment they have over a hundred thousand titles to choose from may be downloaded to really whatever you got and play back anytime anywhere like at the gym for example you can choose books from really every genre science fiction thrillers drama comedy business history and romance I'm looking at you 50 shades of grey ladies go to audible.com slash checking out to get a free audiobook download of your choice and a three day free trial when you sign up so kind of cool again go to audible.com / techno for your free audiobook bringing a pretty big staff to the show's opening be able to bring every bit of news from CES stuff you might have heard or maybe didn't even hear about oh where we share information with you so be sure to check us out at TechnoBuffalo dot-com for all of your CES news wish you guys a happy new year I hope that you guys have a safe one thank you for sticking with us for 2013 we got some great stuff coming in 24 what's up everyone John here just wanted to let you know that if you liked what you just saw we've got two other shows that go live every single week ask the Buffalo we're a very own ashley Esqueda answers you're burning gadget questions and renters rants we're quite obviously I go off on things that bug me across consumer tech if you want to see me get super red-faced and mad should click the text below that says subscribe and check out our other shows by clicking right over here I'll see you guys next time
