Friday Thoughts: What CES Teaches Us About Innovation (and Absurdity)
It’s CES week, and while I’m not attending this year, I can’t help but scroll through the highlights (and lowlights) with equal parts awe and amusement.
On one side, you’ve got jaw-dropping advancements: AI-powered cars, foldable screens, and smart tech that feels like it’s straight out of a sci-fi movie. On the other, there’s always that one product that leaves you asking, “Did we really need a Wi-Fi-enabled egg carton?”
But that’s the beauty of CES—it’s a masterclass in innovation and risk-taking. For every idea that soars, there’s one that flops. And yet, both are necessary. They remind us that progress is built on bold thinking, relentless experimentation, and occasionally, a healthy dose of absurdity.
Skipping CES this year means missing out on the energy, the over-the-top launches, and the chance to try gadgets you never knew you needed (or didn’t). But it also gives me perspective: Innovation isn’t just in Vegas. It’s in every team meeting, brainstorming session, and decision to take a chance on something new—even if it’s a little crazy.
What’s the most surprising or funniest thing you’ve seen from CES this year? Let’s end the week with some inspiration (and maybe a laugh).
