With over 153,000 attendees, 3,100 exhibitors, and 1.861 million net square feet of sheer technological power, this year’s CES 2012 was named the largest show in U.S. History. Held in Las Vegas, Nevada every year, CES never ceases to surprise me, with newer and better technology along with a wider variety of exhibitors to view.

There were a great number of items that not only amazed me, but have me stumped on how they work as well. After all, this year, Samsung has shown us that TVs have become nothing more than framed pieces of thin glass. Razer’s Project Fiona tablet computer also seems to be more powerful than most desktop PCs, running modern games at the highest setting. Aside from those two, over 20,000 new products were unveiled at the event from new cellphones like the Nokia Lumia 900 to Sony’s incredibly life-changing 1080p 3D binoculars.

The only company that I was disappointed in was Apple, only because they made a presence at the ever so important accessory station. Either way, much like E3 and its games improving every year, CES shows that technology is evolving at the rapid rate we all kind of expected.

CEA has already began taking reservations for CES 2013 property and revealed that exhibitors from a wider variety of manufacturers such as Ford and Texas Instruments will make an appearance. And with Microsoft and Apple no longer a huge part of CES, it seems Google and their Android market will lead the charge, taking next year’s keynote presentation for the first time ever. The increase in product variety will attract a lot more consumers. CES may be a show every one will want to attend because it may just end up housing every piece of technology you can imagine.

CES evolves every year and I hope it continues to do so. After all, next year, I expect someone to unveil the re-usable TV in a can.
