Quiz Of The Week: CES Highlights 2014

This week has seen the exhausting spectacle of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)  in Las Vegas. If you’ve kept up – or even if you haven’t – our quiz is for you!

There were plenty of add-ons to existing tech, including some particularly inventive smartphone cases, and a lot of operating systems were re-tooled to run on new kinds of hardware. In particular, intelligent cars seemed to be everywhere.

Modular was another buzz-concept, with phones and games machines built for easy upgrades – or perhaps just to excite the Lego-heads.

Celebrities were in evidence, but this year seemed to be noticeable for the way they failed in actually using the tech – at least in Samsung’s epic keynote speech.

CES promises don’t always turn into reality, but this year provided a glorious and eccentric bundle of tech to watch for in the rest of the year.
