Our media disruptors of the week (you guessed it):
CES! That’s the media disruptor. No other media happened this past week than CES. Except for maybe the news that a few key speakers at RSA have bowed out to protest RSA’s involvement with the NSA.
Today’s topics:
We talked about our favorite technology at the show, how the media coverage of the show differed this year vs the past, some of the flops of the show (and reminisce about flops from years past) and how we think CES is holding up as the Tech Show To Meet All Tech Shows.
