CES, or Consumer Electronics Show, is the largest international trade show. It is held each January in Las Vegas. The Consumer Technology Association organizes the event and allows you to learn about all the latest electronics products. Often times companies will drop out of the event but it is still an important time to look at what's new in terms of televisions, laptops, streaming content, health and fitness, smart homes and transportation.
4) Cool Gadgets Videos: There are always tons and tons of cool gadgets at CES, and this year was no different. Among the latest devices are drones that anyone can fly, smart headphones and one of the best game consoles in years.
The Nintendo Switch launched in March, and quickly established itself as the most portable gaming console. It is intuitive and easy to use. This makes it a joy-to-play console. It is also one among the few gadgets that can entertain a player for a prolonged period of time.
7. Kickstarter is bringing the DIY spirit to the manufacturing process
The crowdfunding site has long prided itself on letting creators make their inventions themselves, but it is now looking to help with the more complex steps of production. It is launching Hardware Studio, a partnership with two companies that handle the logistics of production.
While it's not the first time that a company has tried to become a manufacturer, this is different. Strickler stated that the main purpose of the program is to help inventors create better inventions than they could otherwise.
8. Self-Watering Gardener: This device makes it simple to grow basil, lettuce, and other plants in your apartment. It has been funded by over 10,000 Kickstarter backers and will be made available for purchase this summer for just $100.

10. Brow Magic: It's no secret that L'Oreal loves a bit of tech, so it was only a matter of time before they showed off some clever products at CES. The company presented its Brow Magic, which prints perfect eyebrows, and Hapta to make it easier to use lipstick.
11. Smart Headphones - A pair of wireless headphones which track your movements to answer calls is quite amazing. A smart headphone that can be controlled by hand gestures is even better. These high-tech headphones have raised over $3 million on Kickstarter.
12. Smart Hair Brush: Although smart hair brushes aren't always easy to find, this one is. It uses a built-in microphone to listen to your brushing and monitors the environment to determine whether or not you're actually cleaning your hair properly.
