Tech world to gather, show off gadgets

CES, the annual tech industry event formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show, returns to Las Vegas this week in hopes of looking just like it did before the coronavirus pandemic. Media previews begin Tuesday and Wednesday, and the show begins Thursday and runs through Sunday. The show changed its name to his CES a few years ago to better reflect the changing industry and events. The event expanded beyond audio and video to include automotive, digital health, smartphones, wearables, and other technologies. Businesses and start-ups showcase their innovations in virtual reality, robotics, and consumer technology items to media and other tech industry folks. The show is closed to the public.
