#CES2016: Social Shockwaves

Well, CES 2016 delivered what it always delivers. It was amazing, enlightening, exhilarating, mentally and physically exhausting in equal measures. I'm rejuvenated and broken at the same time.

Although I’ve mentioned VR and connectivity in previous posts, this year’s event wasn’t really about one thing in particular, and that’s because the overarching banner of ‘IoT’ covers a multitude of sins. When so much is connected, mobile devices, home appliances, wearable tech and cars are all spoken about in the same breath.

For me, this year was big for Twitter, Vine and Instagram again, so I’ve summarised the CES 2016 headlines via my own social channels. From wearable airbags to Zombie Smart Fridges, I still believe effective social broadcast is an art form. I’m never likely to resort to mere retweets or regurgitating a news feed. If you follow me, you get cutting edge insight, divisive opinion, original content and irreverence in equal measures.

And actual conversation.
