Intel Canada invited a few bloggers down to CES that aren’t techies but write for mainstream audiences to get their perspective on the Consumer Electronic Show. We wanted to uncover what they felt would be valuable to their readers and themselves. Interested to see what CES had to offer the non-geek community? Find out what these non-tech bloggers chose as their favorites during the show:

 

Catherine Connors- http://herbadmother.com/ really liked the Lego interactive that Intel is working on in their labs. She thought this really pushed the boundaries for creativity for kids and mixing mediums from the abstract world – creating computer generated flames from the Lego built dragon.

 

 

Lauren McPhillips  http://www.styleathome.com/blog/ visited the LG display, which boasted a closet that steams your clothes (think self-cleaning oven) so you never have to make the trek to the dry cleaner ever again!

 

Jason Thompson from http://frameonephoto.blogspot.com/  loved the Canon booth. Being an avid photographer, he thought it was great that he could test drive the different lens on his camera. Check out his blog for tips on improving your photography chops.

 

gbell-sm.jpgWe also hosted a round table with the bloggers and Genevieve Bell, Intel Fellow and Anthropologist.  Genevieve has the cool job of partnering up with a team of scientists & engineers to evaluate how consumers use technology in their homes and to determine what's next in terms of simplifying the home. Genevieve shared a really interesting insight with us - technology will eventually become invisible in our homes, making it as prevalent as electricity and lights.

 

Overall a great couple days!
