Advances in almost every facet of consumer electronics -- everything from robotics to drones to wearable “quantified self” technologies to the ubiquitous Internet of Things -- are on hand here this week as the Consumer Electronics Association’s annual CES conference is poised to kick off, but it’s an old consumer favorite -- television, albeit a new-and-improved version -- that is projected to be the next big thing.
