Robots and more robots marked just one trend at CES. Now that the 2019 show has wrapped up until next year, a look at some of the other trends, products that grabbed attention this year.
While there was little doubt among attendees that 5G will revolutionize the world, when that revolution will actually dawn is disputed.
