MORE GIZMOS AT THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW

Here are some more new products on display at the annual Consumer Electronics SHow, happeing in Las Vegas this week.
– Chef AI smart air fryer. No need to adjust the setting. Just place the food in the air fryer, press Start, and it uses artificial intelligence to detect what type of food it is cooking. (* Put a shoe in it and watch it go nuts.)
– Bartesian’s cocktail-mixing appliance. Use a small touch screen on the appliance to pick from 60 drinks, drop a cocktail capsule into the machine, and in seconds you have a cocktail over ice. (* Do you have to provide the ice yourself?)
– A 137-inch (* That’s 10 feet) foldable TV from C Seed. Divisions between the different sections of the screen are invisible when in use. Its five sections fold up into a compact metal rectangle.
– The BeamO, which looks like a TV remote, is a four-in-one thermometer, electrocardiogram, oximeter and stethoscope. (* I thought Beemo was how we’re supposed to say the name of BMO Bank?)
– The Proclaim, a plastic thing about the size of a can of beer, with a mouthpiece you stick in your mouth and up to 60 water jets shoot water onto your teeth to clear bacteria, plaque and food in seven seconds. Excess water flows out of the front section of the mouthpiece into the sink. (* Or out your ears and nose, whatever.)
– The Phillips smart door lock with palm recognition. A deadbolt lock that recognizes your unique palm pattern, and can store up to 50 of these palm patterns. (* Ultra-secure, until someone chops off your hand to get into your house.
– The Motion Pillow, an AI-powered pillow made of memory foam, with an interior motion system that identifies snoring sounds and will slowly inflate the offending person’s pillow. This gently turns their head to the side while they sleep, opening their airways to create some peace.
* You do see what’s happening here, right? Every product in the world is going to have an AI version that costs $75 more. And I mean EVERY product.
