Samsung CES 2022 Keynote Recap

It's CES time, and some day I'll get there, until then I get to sit here and watch the speeches, and peruse through the media releases.  

Samsung launched into CES with their Keynote "Together for Tomorrow" and there was a lot discussed on their networking of the smart appliances with Home Hub, and screens, but throughout a big thing was their concern for the environment.  

My takeaway was the 'well d'uh why didn't that happen sooner' was the solarcell remote.  

A remote that not only recharges by solar, but also uses stray radio frequencies (wonder how that works and if it interferes in someway).  Imagine living in a world without having to find AA or AAA batteries!  Awesome.

Yesterday, Samsung Electronics kicked off CES 2022 with a pre-show keynote address under the theme of ‘Together for Tomorrow’, delivered by JH Han, Vice Chairman, CEO and Head of Samsung Electronics’ Device eXperience Division.
