The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) — an annual gathering that showcases next-generation technology innovations — took place in Las Vegas this week. Former Apple CEO John Sculley, who has attended the event since it first launched, notes that unlike the days when visitors saw “display after display of consumer electronics and flat-screen TVs,” the show is now “moving much more towards the capabilities of machine learning, virtual reality, augmented reality — many of these things that are really software based and not hardware based.”
