Exclusive Previews and Buzzworthy Highlights

The official start is January 7, but I’ve been on-site since the 4th, diving into early previews. Some highlights include flying cars, genuinely helpful robots, and AI agents designed to help you age gracefully at home. I’ll share all the exciting updates with you, from interviews with top CEOs to the quirkiest tech discoveries.

You can catch my CES 2025 coverage on USA TODAY and social media. This year, I’m sharing more updates than ever, including live posts on USA TODAY’s platforms. If you have questions or specific interests, let me know—I’m here to be your guide through the tech extravaganza.

Key Trends to Watch

AI Agents
This year, AI takes center stage, aiming to make devices think and act more like humans. Gadgets are evolving to work seamlessly with less user intervention. It’s both thrilling and slightly unnerving, and I’m here to explore these advances and what they mean for everyday life.

Age Tech
This category hits close to home as I care for my aging parents. Tech innovations for older adults focus on safety, companionship, and quality of life improvements. I’m eager to see what CES 2025 delivers for this growing demographic.

Smart Home
The promise of a seamless smart home ecosystem has yet to materialize fully. The “Matter” standard didn’t achieve its 2024 goals, but I’m hopeful CES 2025 will showcase smarter, more integrated solutions for home automation.

Parent Tech
Managing screen time and online safety for kids remains a critical challenge. This year, I’m looking for tech that simplifies parenting in the digital age and sets better guardrails for devices and apps.

Wearables and Fitness Tech
As a fitness enthusiast, I’m excited for innovations in wearables and recovery tools. From smarter massage chairs to data-driven devices, I’m exploring the latest tech to enhance health and wellness routines.

Car Tech
Vehicles are becoming high-tech hubs. This year’s standout innovations include solar-powered cars, advanced windshield displays, and functional flying cars. Yes, I might even take one for a solo flight—stay tuned for updates!
