Consumer Electronics Show - CES2001
"Weren’t you just in Vegas a couple months ago? Tough
duty!" friends chuckled. "Consumer electronics – home
entertainment and games? Isn’t that stretching it a bit for
someone who’s supposed to be focused on Web and wireless
applications for complex organizations?" they said. In truth,
there are no casinos, floor shows, or dancing girls at the hotel I’m
staying at. I’ve only got three days to glean as much information
as I can from CES.
CES is a treasure-trove of technology that can be applied to complex
business processes. Hardware, user interfaces, and applications that
people use in a consumer setting create enormous expectations about
how those products should function when applied to business
processes. For example, people seek out the smallest,
coolest-looking cell phones, then expect them to provide business
functionality. The Palm PDA has been such a success, because it does
a few simple things well, that are important to people as
individuals.
Join me for daily dispatches from CES from January 6th
through the 9th.
