What pleased the exhibition this year.

From year to year, one of the most important events in the world of consumer electronics (and not only) takes place in Las Vegas - the CES exhibition. This year the event has already managed to be remembered by no means one interesting, promising example. However, what is really good - at the 2018 exhibition, there were still worthy examples of what in the future could appear in every house.

1. Samsung's fast washing machine

Here is such an apparatus.

Samsung introduced its new washing machine at CES. The manufacturer boasted that the WW6850N model is equipped with QuickDrive technology, which allows washing almost 35% faster than similar machines from other manufacturers. The machine is equipped with a rear drum with a moving plate. This simple dynamic action allows you to rotate clothes in four directions!
  Thanks to this, the cleaning process is accelerated. In addition, the machine can now be controlled from a smartphone.

2. Refrigerator with voice assistant

Another interesting novelty from the South Korean giant was the smart Family Hub refrigerator. In fact, this is a whole line that has been coming out for several years. However, this time for users prepared something really special. So, the new refrigerator can be used as a control center for all “smart” devices in the house. Directly from the refrigerator, you can dim the lights in the next room. In addition, the novelty received a voice assistant Bixby.

3. Microwave Scanner

Great idea, very convenient.

An interesting microwave at the exhibition was presented by Whirlpool. At first glance, this is a common kitchen appliance. It makes Scan-to-Cook technology exceptional. So what can he do? Using a smartphone, you need to scan the barcode of a frozen product, after which the data on this product will be transferred to the oven. The microwave, in turn, will be able to choose the most suitable operating mode and duration of heating. In addition, the smartphone allows you to control the stove remotely.

4. "Transparent" refrigerator

Knock knock, what's up?

Finally, LG's transparent refrigerator called InstaView ThinQ is worth mentioning. The device received a 29-inch touch screen, which becomes completely transparent if you tap it twice. In fact, the material is not at all transparent. This is a screen that, on command, can broadcast a picture from the corresponding internal camera. Such a cunning decision was made not only to be even lazy with a clear conscience, but also to protect the cold in the refrigerator - as a result, food and electricity.

When it comes to technical innovations, one involuntarily recalls the phrase from the cartoon “Winter in Prostokvashino”, which has already become winged. “What technique has reached! It’s not a technique, but I myself came here on skis. ” To see the miracle technology, you do not need to go anywhere. They will come to you at any event. The most popular, relevant and interesting technologies that will decorate any event in our review.

Virtual reality
  Admit it, when you watched movies in 3D, sometimes you wanted to be inside the events. We do not promise to become a member of a full-fledged feature film, but now it’s easy to immerse yourself in virtual space for a few minutes. At least, the organizers of the Virtual Reality attraction claim so. To do this, just put on special glasses, select a plot, start the program ... and go! A volumetric and realistic picture appears before you, and you are inside it. You can twist and rotate your head, even rotate it 180 degrees - the image changes afterwards, as if it happened in reality. The only thing that can not touch anything. But special technology makes the picture voluminous - this allows you to feel yourself in another reality. Is there any need to say that there are more than enough impressions of such an attraction for guests of any event - both in children and adults.

Alexander, Oculus Rift attraction
Such an attraction for any event is convenient in that it is mobile and easy to install. Only computer and glasses included. The selection of games is simply huge. Now in our database there are more than 5000! And every day the collection is only replenished. The duration of the plot is 2-3 minutes, maximum 5. Therefore, everyone will have time to visit virtual reality. Adults mainly choose attractions such as swings, roller coasters, and fear rooms. Impressions in people, of course, are incredible. Just imagine - a person is standing, putting on glasses and a program is launched there - the same roller coaster, for example. He begins to crouch, deviate from side to side, almost fall. We even sometimes have to support people. Watching this from the outside is very funny! Emotions over the edge not only with the participant of the attraction, but also with others.

Where to order: virtual reality attraction, attraction

Light paintings
  Invite the artist to paint a picture in the presence of you and your guests. Only not ordinary, but light. Instead of pencils and paints - a flashlight, canvas and darkness. The light beam leaves a mark on a special screen, so that a complete picture is obtained. The light picture "lives" in just a few minutes. But these moments can become one of the most memorable at the holiday. The virtuoso artist gradually fills the space with light strokes. Thus, the plot develops and comes to life, some objects turn into others. Images either dissolve or flash on the screen to the music. By the way, the plot can be absolutely any and convey the theme of any event. A light picture will tell a love story or a couple’s acquaintance story, show the stages of growing up a child, a trip to the most beautiful places in the world, the history of the formation of the company and the scope of its activities, etc. A story told by light and shadow is unlikely to leave indifferent even the most sophisticated viewer.

Where to order: Light paintings

Action cameras
This technology can be used at events in two versions: when shooting video and in the entertainment program. Videographers have long mastered such cameras and have been using them for the past two to three years when shooting various events. Action cameras complement the main camera with the fact that, thanks to their mobility, they allow you to get unusual camera angles and “live”, non-jaded shots. As for the use of such cameras in the festive program, they can diversify visual interactive entertainment. If you connect the action camera to a large plasma, which all guests see, and broadcast on the screen the most interesting moments of the event or everything that happens around, you can evoke the most stormy positive emotions among those present. Sometimes people don’t see that they are being filmed. Smile, you are being shot with an action camera!

Laser shows
  Organizers of laser shows have long gone beyond simple projections. Today the range of their offers is much wider. This is laser juggling, and various manipulations with the laser beam. It turns out that you can bend it, break it, build various shapes - in the hands of real professionals, it lends itself to all kinds of manipulations. From a laser show, you can even create a whole interactive performance, the participants of which can be guests of the holiday. On the eve of the event, try to make a small “seed” for the guests and say that some of them may have a chance to be inside the laser futuristic structure.

Robots
  Robots are different. But whatever they are, they invariably attract the attention of all those invited - from small to large. The capabilities of modern robots are so wide that they can dance, sing, meet guests and talk with them, arrange various shows.

Where to order: robot shows, giant robot shows.

The review was made by Valeria Nezhinskaya

In the United States, NBS-news recently hosted a resonant discussion about racial unrest.

Rather, it was a short exchange of sharp cues on the air.

The former mayor of New York, Republican Giuliani, spoke on the one hand, and the black professor Dyson on the other.

Giuliani initially said that in the United States, 93% of African Americans are killed by other African Americans.

And during the discussion, Giuliani uttered the phrase: “White cops will not be needed if you stop killing each other.”

I have a friend in the USA named Timothy. He is 35 years old, white, teaches computer science, is fond of space, served in the Marine Corps, graduated from university, lived in Boston and Texas.

We chat online sometimes.

Timothy has a Boston accent. My humor Timothy understands.

When Timothy speaks slowly, I understand a lot too.

I tell him: “Giuliani’s phrase is racist. Who you are? Who did Giuliani mean when he told Dyson “if you stop killing”?

Timothy objects: “The phrase is taken out of context. She is said in the heat of discussion. The usual phrase. "

I'm trying to explain: “How is Dyson involved in black people killing other black people? Dyson has dark skin. Who is killing you? ”

Timothy is trying to explain to me: “Dyson has dark skin. Blacks kill blacks. ”

I try: “Collective responsibility does not exist. Everyone is responsible for himself. There are no black and white killers. There are just murders. ”

Timothy tries: "How does this not exist if 93% of blacks are killed by other blacks?"

  - This is racism.

  - taken out of context.

  - Who you are"?

  “Dyson has dark skin.”

Useful for practicing English, but useless for global peace.

What I like to argue with Timothy is that he always tries to end in peace.

Also, by the way, finished Giuliani and Dyson.

  “It's amazing what we have different points of view,” as their eyes would say at the end of the argument.

To this case, a joke.

The rabbi and the priest were on the train in the same compartment opposite each other.

  “Where are you going?” The rabbi asked.

  “To Zhmerinka,” answered the priest, “and where are you going?”

  “In Berdichev,” the rabbi answered, “but to think only what the technique has come to, it’s enough to sit on the opposite side and how much the destination changes!

Reviews

Boris, thanks for the miracle of Eugene Klyuyev.
  In the evening I read to the guys (today).
  Ladies and friends, teachers.
  Yes, this is a treasure. Just for us.
  Instead of, say, a boring class hour about some rules ...
  If something else like that, call!

  “So am I to blame for this? ..”
  So am I to blame?
  And who is to blame for this?
  You left the reserve yourself -
  you yourself are to blame for everything:
  you have a happy look
  that you are healthy and fertile
  that every oncoming strives
  say hello to you ...
  so am I to blame?
  And to blame for this.
  That the spirit flew over the abyss of waters
  that the vault of heaven was dancing
  and that heavenly gardener,
  to which - vivat,
  I didn’t sleep at night, the light arose
  and made this white light
  but he himself no longer lives here:
  the scale is a bit small ...
  so am I to blame?
  And to blame for this.
  And here is an inaccurate translation:
  a round dance didn’t spin here -
  here a platoon perished after a platoon,
  and thousands of supply
  they brought the dead to heaven and hell,
  where is the aged bookkeeper
  permanent underwood,
  wrote the New Testament, -
  so am I to blame?
  And to blame for this.
They shot them all - and here
  now your name is to be executed
  sweet-voiced individual
  last illiquid!
  And why is they calling for execution ...
  which would give you an answer:
  Meadow Cows like hot cakes,
  and roll back a little ...
  so am I to blame?
  And to blame for this.

Greetings to you from Rotherdam from Klyuev
