For once I watched an entire keynote from CES (Microsoft), mainly because it was the last before Gates stood down. Overall it wasn't bad, but it reinforced my belief that people into technology probably struggle to see why other (ordinary) people just don't get it.
The presentations had a few amusing things:
1. A car that calls 911 in the event of an airbag going off. How long before the emergency services ignore this if it becomes a standard on cars?
2. A social networking tool, the demo person showed herself booking an "appointment" with her mother!
It was ok really, but these people just felt like such cookie cutter employees, and had such weak examples of everyday use of the technology they were showing.
