Tech enthusiasts turn up at Las Vegas gadget show
At the International CES, the largest trade show in the Americas, tech enthusiasts have met in Las Vegas to see their dreams and fantasies about the future move closer to reality.
Since Tuesday, when the four-day show began, they got a first-hand glimpse into the latest trends. They include "smart homes," self-driving cars in which passengers face one another, wearable devices and personal computers vying to stay relevant in a mobile-booming world.
