思考CES 2019

消費電子展Consumer Electronics Show簡稱CES，世界上最大的科技貿易展，歷史上在CES首次發表有名的產品1970年的錄影機、1996年的DVD、2009年的3D高畫質電視.

Steven Sinofsky，前微軟的高管，現為Andreessen Horowitz的合夥人，這幾十年來都有參加CES，每年都會在Blog分享他的報告(有興趣可完整閱讀).

Steven Sinofsky的報告:

Some years CES feels like a deep technology show with everyone talking about something that requires hardware, new software, and a lot of work to even do something (3D TV, WiFi, home disk storage). Some years CES feels like attendees are overwhelmed with one specific technology no matter which way we look (HD, 4K, internet). Over the past couple of years we have seen a lot of ingredients working to come together as products — virtual assistants, home automation, sensors to name a few. CES 2019 is a kind of year that sort of screams “we’re ready for the products that really work”. In that spirit, CES 2019 is a year where products are close, but seem a product manager iteration away from being a product that can reach a tipping point of customer satisfaction and utility. Products work in a “thread the needle” sort of way, but a lot of details and real life quickly cause things to become frustrating.

CES 2019重點：

• 中國參與度非常的高.
• Google參與的規模很大.
• 5G.

我對於思考CES 2019的看法

所有人都試圖想了解smartphone之後會發生什麼事情，大家都同意智慧家居在很短的時間有了進步，但還是需要幾年的時間普及；另外在Steven Sinofsky的12000字報告中，可穿戴設備居然只出現一次，表示除了蘋果押注在可穿戴設備外，其他的科技行業興趣看起來不太大.
