The annual International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas wraps up today.

Some 160,000 people attended the four day trade show that spotlights the next generation of technology innovation. More than 3,600 companies exhibited during the event, with highlights including “connectivity” among common household fixtures, such as refrigerators and cabinets.

There’s also been the latest in wearable technology. And -- the wow factor of driverless cars. CES has been on Southern Nevada’s convention calendar since 1978.
