The 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show featured more than 3,200 exhibitors touting the latest technological creations. Research some of these emerging technology products.
In your blog post write about THREE (3) products you found most interesting. What are the applications of these products?
Waka Waka - Is a solar power station which is a portable personal size. The station can provide energy via USB for battery devices such as 2 iphones at a time. In the case of power outages or natural disasters these would be highly useful. I am excited about this product because it offers up possibilities for anyone around the world to stay connected and get emergency help if needed. It can also keep someone connected for news updates during emergency situations as well. These were available to consumers mid 2014 so they should soon be helping people around the world.

Chef Jet- In the culinary world, the push to become more creative and visual with food is at an all time high. In the show the Chef jet was debuted. It is a 3D printer which works with sugar. This enables the user to create virtually any concept "printed" or created in sugar for use with their culinary masterpiece. By creating a prototype on your computer the printer will copy it in #D in sugar. These can be used to make flowers for cakes, or decorations for dinner plates. I think it will bring more beauty to our culinary experience. As an amateur baker and lover of cake decorating, I can not wait until their is a consumer option!

Belkin Crock Pot We-Mo- Again as a cook and mom I find this one to be a great addition to the home. It is a crock pot which looks and works like the usual stand by but it also lets you control the temps and check in on your dinner when you aren't at home. this is great for working moms who want to make sure dinner id ready when everybody gets home. The adjustments can be done with an app from your phone. This company also wants to make more app controlled home devices in the future which i think will really bring convenience to everyone's reach.
