Would you mind raising your hand if you’ll be attending CES 2022? Yes, there’s one on the left, right, and ooh, another on the center. Despite this, no one wants to attend the event in any case physically. The return of the enormous mass of new technologies was to be celebrated at CES 2022, after a 2021 edition that had been lived entirely online, with inevitably less excitement.
The list of absentees began with some of the most well-known significant players in the industry, like Microsoft and Google, and has become a little longer in recent hours. All of the firms who have refused to participate in the next Las Vegas electronics exhibition have a similar reason, explicitly covid-19 with discovering the Omicron variant.
