LAS VEGAS, Nevada (QWERTY NEWS)
The 40th annual International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) allows the public to see the future of technology and the new wangdangles and gizmotrons that well-funded nerds have developed
The Las Vegas Convention Center was teeming with the traffic of the roughly 150,000 attendees during the four day event. Some products did manage to be more impressive than others:
The Cyberdine Corporation in participation with the U.S. Military has developed the T-100, also known as the Terminator, a robotic soldier, with the hope of eventually being able to replace the more fragile flesh and blood soldier that is currently in deployment. They hope by year's end to launch the T-100 into active service with the aid of the Skynet system, a global communications uplink capable of unifying and controlling the entire military computer infrastructure.
Omni Consumer Products (OCP) has been working on a similar program in accordance with Detroit law enforcement. They have produced multiple options for state officials to choose from including the intimidating ED-209, a large entirely automated mechanical law enforcement officer, and the technological marvel affectionately dubbed RoboCop, a cybernetically enhanced human -- also called a cyborg -- law enforcement officer.
In an impressive bid for robots to be added to the everyday consumer, U.S. Robotics announced its new NS-5 line of consumer friendly house droids and the Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence system (V.I.K.I.) that will work as a central operating system to the NS-5 units.
This year holds promise to show a resurgence in the technological revolution.
