Retro Hardware, Smart Homes, and CES Oddities
-

Not everything at CES was about serious infrastructure. Clicks Technology drew buzz with its Communicator smartphone, reviving BlackBerry-style physical keyboards in a $499 device that blends nostalgia with modern design. Lego made its CES debut with Smart Bricks that interact digitally, while Razer surprised attendees with AI desk companions and wearable-adjacent concepts.
On the home front, Amazon expanded Alexa+ and Ring integrations, while family-focused tools like Skylight Calendar 2 showcased how AI is quietly reshaping everyday planning. As always, CES proved that innovation doesn’t just live in labs — it shows up in living rooms, desks, and pockets.
