Earthlings 2.0 Podcast #5: Foraging for Future Tech with Oleg Dre, John Roth, Dan Park, and Nicholas Duprey
The metaverse, vertical farming, robots, autonomous vehicles, and space all have one thing in common - the Consumer Electronics Show.
Lisa Ann attended CES this year in Las Vegas and brought back some of the most interesting and innovative ideas brought up at the show. There are some fascinating and amazing things to look forward to in the near and far future including innovative tech. Many countries and companies were represented at the show, so there was something for everyone.
