Moore’s Law states that every two years, the speed and capabilities of computers increase and the cost decreases.
With these developments, doors are opened for entrepreneurs, and seemingly every few years we are introduced to a new, exciting technological device.
Startups are often front and center in these developments, and we’ve seen many an early-stage company earn the status of household name.
Well, one of the most prominent showcases of technological development occurs annually at the Consumer Electronics Show, where the most prominent names in technology convene in Las Vegas to showcase new technologies.
