One of the best things about CES is wandering the massive show floor and finding a completely unique product that just makes you smile. I was rushing through one of the main halls and noticed that I was in front of the Samsonite booth. What the heck does a luggage company have to do with consumer electronics? I saw a small crowd gathered for a demo so I stepped inside.

Secretly, every TechDad envisions himself as a super-hero. We’re able to make technology bend to our will, unlike those mere mortals who cannot even program a universal remote.
