is still considered as a reliable barometer for predicting tech trends that will change our lives in the ▓next few years.Here are four keywords that will make CES 2▓017, which officially runs Thursday through Sunday ▓in Las Vegas, different than shows held in the past years.50TH ANNIVERSARYThis year marks▓ the show's 50th anniversary. The first CES was held in June 1967, with 17,500 attendees and 117 exhibitors gathering in New Yo▓rk City, demonstrating products such as transi▓stor radios, stereos and small-screen black-and-white▓ TVs, including the first solid-state TV.Since t▓hen, the event has showcased an estimated 700,000 products▓, including "world-changing innovations," such as the VCR (1970), the DVD (1996), di
