The International Consumer Electronics Fair CES 2015 has written its own story for this year, but the products presented in Las Vegas have only just begun to write their own. And if we had to look for a leading trend, it would certainly be the Internet of Things, a bunch of everyday objects that have stepped into the virtual world with one foot. Of course smartphones pulled the wagon, but there was much more. Check out what caught our attention.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
The online men's magazine Four Pins, which is also devoted to style, has dressed the world's famous leaders in anything but ordinary clothes. With the help of Photoshop, she transformed them from strictly observed into "street style" or street clothes. And it must be admitted that they are good at it.
It wasn't long ago when screens on the backs of the front seats in airplanes were science fiction, when a call from a height of 11 thousand meters was impossible, let alone a wireless network. Today, all this is taken for granted. And those phones on airplanes. Those are long gone. As well as there is no longer a user who only wants to fly. Here is now a technologically "aware" traveler. The range is suitable for this, and airlines, including NASA, are always on the hunt for improvements.
Just like the original, the Lenovo VIBE X2 smartphone is a "tri-color" (multi-layer case), but apart from the appearance, it does not share much with its predecessor. It's not only multi-layered on the outside, as the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system is layered with the VIBE 2.0 user interface. And it will especially burn with the Lenovo VIBE Xtension Selfie Flash, which is a must-have accessory for anyone who likes to take selfies.
The biggest hit of this year's CES in the field of wearable technology is the smart watch, which was jointly prepared by LG and Audi. Although it is only a prototype that does not even have a name, it gives us a concrete insight into LG's future in the field of wearable technology. The watch does not have Google's Android Wear operating system, designed for wearable devices, but rather LG's in-house Open webOS platform, which has been reaping success in the field of smart TVs for some time.
Every boy goes through certain periods or stages on the path of growing up. One is more, the other less difficult (here we mean mainly for parents). But despite the fact that every boy has his own problems, in his early youth they are, for example, newly coined words, and everyone has their own life story, but most of them experience the same things as they grow up. And so that you don't think that you were some kind of exception. Apparently, there is something about the fact that they are all the same.
The Japanese start-up company Cerevo can boast of the production of XON Snow-1 snowboard bindings, which have built-in sensors to detect and track movement and weight distribution while riding. In addition, the sensors detect the degree of bending of the board, measure the speed and with the LED lights (on the heels and at the toes) simultaneously provide the boarder with information about how he distributes the weight during the twisting.
For the promotion of its Pepsi Max drink, Pepsi decided to shoot an interesting and at the same time educational spot, which it called "Chain Reaction". It's a fireworks display of 1,840 ping-pong balls launched into the air by 1,650 mixers, filmed together with Pepsi by the HarrimanSteel filmmaking team from London.
Taiwanese start-up company Gogoro brings an alternative not only to fossil fuels, but also to the world of alternative powered vehicles, as their electric Smartscooter offers a different power solution. No more charging the battery, just changing the empty one at the gas station with the GoStation kiosk.
Technology becomes miraculous when it disappears. The best inventions are natural, a perfect blend of functionality and purpose, freed from cables and sharp edges, i.e. everything that betrays them as artificial. The Sony Symphony lamp is such a technology. It is a table lamp that can transform into a chandelier, and its "hidden" talent is a wireless speaker, so that it offers sound in addition to light.
Lenovo has enriched its range of smartphones with the P90 model, which is the first smartphone with a 64-bit Intel Atom processor and an Intel XMM 7260 LTE-Advanced receiver, which takes care of data transfers (music, games, videos) at really high speeds in LTE mobile networks. Its assets are also a screen with an extremely vivid image and a durable battery.
CES 2015 has many trendsetters in technology, and the Withings Activité Pop watch is certainly one of them. Although they are found under the label of smart watch, they are actually classic watches - with hands and a dial - and the functionality of smart watches is added to them by a smart bracelet that monitors daily activities (walking, running, swimming), sleep, and serves as a silent alarm using vibrations ,...
