I go back for day number two at the CES show in Las Vegas and explore a bit more of the automotive side, include the EV Hummer from @GeneralMotors, the new hybrids from @Jeep, and the autonomous and remote controlled vehicles from @CatProducts.
There was definitely some cool new stuff there that was awesome to see from the above companies, and of course @EcoFlowTech who was nice enough to get us exhibitor passes to the event. But there was also quite a few companies that left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth about the event and tech industry in general. For starters, companies like Hyundai and a few others who refused to talk to you unless you were invited by them, and Samsung who literally had bouncers at the entrance to their displays keeping people from looking.

Then there was all the virtual reality and augmented reality companies showing off what is truly world changing technology, but pointing it in the wrong direction. I didn’t film any of that tech because for one, it’s very hard to get something that’s not physically real in front of your face on camera. And two, because I didn’t want to promote companies that have the ability to change people’s lives, but are completely wasting the opportunity by aiming towards a different audience.

I’m someone who has spent a good portion of my life laying in a hospital bed with a body that made me miss out on a lot of experiences that others were able to do, so I understand how that feels and is why I hate the fact that these companies have the technology to put on a pair of goggles and transport yourself anywhere in the world, but are marketing it to gamers and young people because that’s where they think the money is.
Imagine how amazing it would be for someone in a wheelchair to be able to go out that hiking trail to a waterfall that they could never see in person. Or the elderly man who’s worked his body into the ground his whole life to finally be able to climb the mountain and see Machu Picchu. Or a person who’s body has them trapped in a hospital bed to simply be able to walk through their favorite city or see the sunset on the beach.

This augmented and virtual reality technology can truly change people’s lives, and I’d really love to see it being pushed in that direction, but that’s far from what I saw them doing at CES. Now granted, I didn’t even come close to seeing everything or all the displays and demonstrations that were there, so there very well could be some companies pushing for exactly that that I just missed, and I truly hope that’s the case, but I just had to shake my head and walk away from the handful that I did talk to.

My goal with this channel is to help people and show that even a small amount of effort on your part can make a huge difference in someone’s life. So with that in mind I have some ideas to take what this channel does even farther, and I’d love for you guys to be a part of it. So stay tuned while I work out the specifics of it, and let’s make some real changes in the world!
