My first thoughts!

I figured to begin my semester full of new media that I should hear about the Consumer Electronic Show. So, I went to the New York Times Web site to research about it and they even had videos of the show. This is where I learned about a lot of really neat products that are out now. For example, one of the first things they showed was an underwater texting device for scuba divers. Then, there were lots of TV-related products including one TV with the skinniest width I’ve ever seen (the TV was basically like the width of a piece of paper - okay, maybe a little exagerated but man, it was small) and the Flywire, which wirelessly transmits information from High-Definition gear to an HDTV set. Some of my favorites were a GPS watch that had no buttons and a touch “pad” instead, a digital frame where you can send pictures from your phone and the frame will immediately update to show your photo, and a portable DVD player that has a battery life of 13 hours. Everything was pretty amazing and I can’t even imagine what will be around when I’m older.
