As I went from booth to booth, I kept looking at the displays of the 3-D TVs and asked myself the same question, "Why the heck do I need those glasses?" (I know the technical answer -- but it was more an emotional response to the idea presented.) Finally, at the fifth booth highlighting the solution, I started to think, "If they convince me to wear those glasses, isn't the real question 'Why the heck do I need the TV?'"

LAS VEGAS (AdAge.com) -- In the not-too-distant future, at least the one Microsoft subscribes to, TV consumption will be more portable than ever before as consumers see fewer and fewer differences between the screen belonging to their TV, the one on their laptop and the one on their mobile device.

Although I'm always blown away by many of the Innovations Design and Engineering Awards honorees, as the Interpublic Emerging Media Lab's health-care director, I'm especially interested in advances in the health-and-wellness category. We've seen amazing advances in this category in the past few years, and here are some of this year's best.

I wouldn't say that this year there was a theme to CES 2009 except a continuation of electronics that are smaller, thinner, cheaper, faster, integrated and portable. But those elements are more than enough to drive significant innovation.

LAS VEGAS (AdAge.com) -- The scene felt as if the president of the U.S. was speaking, from the heavy security presence complete with bomb-sniffing dogs to a line wrapped around two levels of the hall at the Venetian Palazzo Ballroom here two hours before a keynote speech was to take place. And when it comes to the Consumer Electronics Show, Bill Gates might just be the honorary commander in chief. But for his last CES keynote as a full-time employee of Microsoft -- he's delivered nine -- the hour-long presentation was short on nostalgia and long on entertainment.

Every year, we attend CES to see what's next. For the first time I can remember, I left CES with a better idea of what's coming in a few months, not a few years.
