Lessons Learned

March 15, 2013
Our best hope for a strong economy, lower deficit and reasonable taxes is ensuring we are the world’s innovators. Politicians from both parties agree that innovation should be our national strategy. They often disagree on the means. Democrats think the government must do more like fund research, provide better education, subsidize targeted innovation and provide tax incentives to innovate. Republicans, on the other hand, focus on predictable and lower overall taxes, free trade and less bureaucracy.   But innovation is who America is and there are emerging areas of agreement. For example, political leaders agree that we should encourage the...

In Technology and Fan Experience, NASCAR Sets The Pace

February 22, 2013
The Daytona 500, held in Daytona Beach, Fla., every February since 1959, is among the first races of every NASCAR season. As the cars have become faster, safer and more durable thanks to scores of technological innovations, the fan experience has evolved as well, embracing wireless, optics and broadband technologies to help the fans in the stands (and on the couch) get closer to the action on track.   For fans lucky enough to make the pilgrimage to Daytona, the technology available on-site in Florida is amazing. Starting with the Daytona International Speedway mobile app for iOS and Android, fans gain access to a wealth of information that is vital to navigating a large event...

Why Innovation?

January 06, 2013
I live and breathe our industry. I come to work e very day excited and thrilled and knowing I am luck y. Not because the gadgets are fun or cool. Not because of the bigness of CEA or the fame of our members. My joie de work flows from our industry’s unstoppable innovation and the greatness in human potential we symbolize and offer. It’s not just that our products, apps and services are changing the world; it’s that we are the face of innovation, empowering people around the world and enabling even the poorest to access what the wealthy could not even imagine just a few years ago. Innovation has become the...

The Start-up Guy: Alexis Ohanian

January 06, 2013
Clearly he is articulate, with loads of business savvy, but what I first noticed about Alexis Ohanian was that even though he works nonstop, he loves to have fun. He may be just 29, but he has more experience than many executives twice his age in transforming ideas into startups and investing in others. It began while he was a senior at the University of Virginia in 2005, when he and Steve Huffman pitched a mobile phone food ordering app to startup incubator Paul Graham. Graham turned down their idea but called them back to Boston while they were still traveling home on the train. Fledgling Internet...

Will.i.am: Passion for Technology

January 06, 2013
CES has long been a fan of The Black Eyed Peas. In 2005, the show kicked off with Let’s Get it Started and then again in 2010, I Gotta Feeling pumped up attendees before keynotes. In 2012, the multi-Grammy award winner and founding member of The Black Eyed Peas, will.i.am, came to CES as Intel’s director of creative innovation focusing on the intersection of technology and entertainment. And this year he is back at CES.   Born William Adams, his accomplishments are impressive: singer-songwriter, composer, record producer, dancer, DJ, rapper, philanthropist, coach on the BBC talent show The Voice—he even carried the Olympic torch this summer.
