CES not so interesting (Mannerisms)

CES not so interesting

To mark the 40th anniversary of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) have produced a pack of playing cards on each of which was an interesting fact about CES.

The ones that struck me were:

In 1970 the VCR debuted at CES.
1976 marks the year the first microprocessor videogames were introduced.
In 1981, the first CD players debuted at Summer CES.
First US demonstration of HDTV was done in 1981 by Japan’s NHK network.
The DVD debuted at the 1996 CES.

OK, well, maybe not so interesting then.
