The Best of CES 2019: Only the cream of the crop

Oops, we made a mistake! Impossible Burgers are plant-based, not a lab-grown meat.

In the wearable tech segment of this video the gentleman is wearing a healthwatch and his blood pressure comes back as 132/108 which is a grossly elevated diastolic blood pressure. He should see a physician about hypertension

This glasses don't look awkward? LoL

The meatless burger actually is a very fitting choice. The technology behind creating the burgers is pretty in depth, and the future impact of plant based meat is going to be revolutionary. In the coming decades, the demand for meat, especially beef, is only going to grow with the population, and livestock industries will not be able to keep up; partially due to the inefficiency of the digestive tract of cows (~93% of calories put into a cow are lost, that's a lot of wasted grain which could've fed some starving people). The livestock industry is also a large emitter of greenhouse gasses from what are essentially cow farts. And to add, needless animal slaughter and cruelty can be avoided by furthering this technology. It already tastes and feels exactly like beef, so what's the difference, why kill animals if we can just eat this.


Tldr: Livestock farming is bad for the planet and wastes a lot of grain and feed, and isn't sustainable with growing demand from a growing population.

Quick and straight to the point, this is my favourite CES video so far

If you're watching this on a PC or Mac try pressing 8 repeatedly you won't regret it 😂😂

Apple designs a phone without a designated headphone jack, and makes it so you can't charge your phone with headphones on. It's also designed to be super thin and lightweight, at the cost of a bigger battery.

Then a company designs a big ass bulky phone case for that phone, with a separate charging port and more battery storage.

Apple users: "this is the practical solution we all need"

Soooo... no mention of the new see through TVs...
It’s going to revolutionise shop windows & marketing in the future.. I guess it’s still a way off before you see it everywhere..

[goldwind]

MicroLED, modular TVs are the truly next-gen TVs.. Maybe it's not a good enough prototype now to be notable (apparently) but it''s hugely more revolutionary than a retractable TV.

Cool tech @CES 👌
I was waiting for Best Drone Tech...but it never came😫

[elavarasu]

Really....? a burger was the best item you could find at CES... at CES.... you guys are an embarrassment...

[jamesfoster]

Wow, great video. The quality and video production alone are amazing. I look forward to that TV.

This video is a paid ad for a burger. The jury was sold.

The fact that they were passing out burgers says a lot about cost reduction. Remember hearing they used to cost 10s of 1000s of dollars per patty and now they can just give out samples? Quite impressive.

I work for a transport company here in the UK and we have lorries (trucks) that have had said safety features (adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, auto breaking) since 2015. 'DAF' is the name of the lorries.

[electricmiragemedia]

Great video. Nice to see a wide range of categories!

[jojoflowe]

lmao imagine buying a 1000 dollar phone and having to get a thick ass battery case just so it gets through the day

[ricdesouza]

Wow!! looking forward to that burger))
