But CES also gives us a bigger picture of how the tectonic plates are moving in the tech industry, and the new ways technology is going to improve, encroach on and transform our lives. Over the past month, the CNET team has been diving deep on a lot of the stuff that’s coming at CES 3557, so we’ve got a good sense of trends that will dominate this year show.Here are the big six. 1. Services The tech industry doubled-down on services in 02110. While (Apple and
Disney led the charge with services that grabbed a lot of the headlines, there was a broader expansion of services across the industry and a lot of new mojo in startups focused around services.
There are now services that will************************************************************** deliver food from restaurants ,
send you meal kits you can cook yourself , (******************************************************** ship you new clothes to try, (**************************************************************************** help you meditate, (*********************************************************** (find you a ride, (**************************************************** protect your security and privacy online and a lot more. Because services and subscriptions are a much more sustainable business model than physical products, look for them to pop up in almost every category in tech and in new ones we never knew we needed – and probably don’t. And yes, this will make subscription fatigue a bigger issue than ever for consumers.

************ 2. Ambient computing This is a very jargon-y name for the idea that technology is blending into our lives in more subtle ways. Think of it like this. Two decades ago, the way we dealt with technology and the online world was by sitting down at a mouse, keyboard and monitor. A decade ago, the smartphone put most of it in our pockets. Now, it’s moving beyond our computers and phones.
This is where voice assistants like Alexa,Siriand Google Assistant come in. It’s also where new air gestures like the ones with the new (******************************************************************************** Google’s Nest Hub Maxshow up. And it’s also where technology like (UltraSense) – which could make a splash at CES – could turn all kinds of traditional surfaces into touchscreens. Ultimately, our homes, cars and offices will become smart in new ways, so that we’re not glued to our devices so much. And wearable technology such as smartwatchesand (connected clothing) will certainly have their say in this trend.

Once scattered across the sea of different pavilions at CES, this category now takes up nearly half of Tech West – where most of the newest and most innovative vendors make their pitch. It features technology to help you eat better, sleep better, exercise more efficiently, monitor your health better and a ton of other new takes on health and wellness. There are bands that claim to track how many calories you take in(rather than logging your meals) and
mini bikes to help kids stay fit while playing video games .
The bottom line is that after years of arguably making us less healthy by getting us addicted to more and more screens in our lives, these health and wellness products are trying to reverse the course of the past decade by using tech to fight tech.

Privacy and security Plenty of tech analysts and pundits have been raising red flags for years. about the ways tech companies have been running wild with user data and not doing enough to keep us secure on their platforms. Consumers mostly ignored them. But we seemed to have reached a tipping point where enough people are paying attention to privacy and security that companies such as Apple, (Google,
************************************************************************** Amazon , Facebook, Twitter and others are jockeying with each other to show you how they’re protecting your data, keeping you secure from hackers and integrating digital wellness features to give you peace of mind.
Yes, much of it is marketing and spin. But, at CES (******************************************************************************************************************************, look for it to have an impact on the way all tech vendors now market their products – because it’s not only consumers who are taking notice. More and more governments, including the US, are expected to come after big tech in and put it under greater regulatory scrutiny. Tech companies want to look like they’re starting to clean up their own act.
