Accenture sums up its predictions for the 7 key technologies of CES

It’s pretty hard to sum up what’s going to happen at the Consumer Electronics Show. The 2016 International CES event will draw more than 150,000 people to Las Vegas this week. Those crowds will see a few thousand exhibitors covering more than 2 million square feet of exhibition space. The result will be billions of tweets, with a lot of noise.

John Curran will hopefully help sort through that deluge of information and hype. Curran, the managing director of Accenture’s communications, media, and technology group, has come up with his own predictions about what will be hot at CES — so you don’t have to do it yourself. Curran sees at least five big trends developing at the show. We talked to him ahead of time about his predictions.
