COOL STUFF AT THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW

Here are some of the more notable gadgets on display at last week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas:
– Samsung displayed two versions of a new, thin TV the call “The Wall”. One is a 75-inch (6-foot diagonal) consumer model, and the other a 219-inch (18 feet diagonal) display.
* For you far-sighted millionaires.
– Samsung showed off its new Family Hub 4.0 refrigerator, which promises to text you if you accidentally leave the refrigerator door open. (* Yet it can’t close the door itself, something a $2 spring would do.)
* Remember THIS story about the Family Hub? http://morningsidekick.com/prep/2018/12/07/audio-family-buys-most-expensive-refrigerator-no-one-can-fix-it/
– Kangaroo announced a climate sensor that can detect potential mold growth in your home and report that to your cell phone. Exciting stuff.
– Kohler integrated Alexa with its Numi 2.0 toilet, so you’ll never have to flush the toilet yourself ever again.
– A French start-up called Babeyes showed off a stick-on camera for babies that constantly records video clips from the baby’s point of view. Parents can then download the clips and save them to the cloud.
* “Here’s dad’s reaction the first time he got peed on while changing a diaper!”
– The Welt, a smart belt that collects data on everything from your waist size to the number of steps you take each day.
* I don’t need a Welt. I’ve already got pants that tell me my waist size, thank you.
* How about a gadget that warns you when you’re about to buy a stupid new gadget?
