Does the giant Consumers Electronics show have a future? BBC columnist doubts it

For years, the Jauary Consumers' Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was the place to be to see the future in the electrnocs and gadget world. But tech columnist David Pogue has doubts that this will continue.
He writes:
"CES is not open to the public. It’s attended exclusively by electronics representatives, investors, and members of the media. Its function: for tech companies to display the new gadgets they’ve been working on - and to beg the press to write about them.
"And we do. Every January, we, the press, dutifully report the industry’s latest message. This will be the year we surf the web on our TV sets! This will be the year for 3D television! This will be the year someone besides Apple has a hit tablet!
But as time goes by, it’s becoming clearer that CES isn’t serving anyone very well. Not the public, not the press, not even the manufacturers. And that is down to four reasons."
