 It's easy to be cynical about CES. It's easy to look at all this hype and all this nonsense in the middle of Vegas and decide that it's all meaningless. But if you look just past the surface, what you see is that everyone in tech and media and art and science is here for a week to talk and party and have big ideas about the future. And that's amazing. CES is big. It's so big that it can fit self-driving cars next to gigantic curved TVs next to small startups you've never heard about building things you've never dreamed about. CES is also where the entire Verge team comes together from across the world and thinks about what it actually means for technology and science and entertainment to collide. And to spend a week not only telling the story of this future, but building the future of our site. So yeah, it's Vegas. And yeah, it's crazy. And yeah, there's a lot of hype over things that might never happen. But damn, it's fun to dream. Let's go to CES.
