Hello Las Vegas!

Vegas is well known for its bright lights, stage shows, the beautiful hotels and lets not forget the slots. But what else does this wondrous city have to offer? Well here is held the Consumer Electronic Show, where technology takes the stage and tries once again to out due last years models. BBC went to check out the show. But before that, Rory Cellan-Jones went to the golden state, sunny California, home of silicon valley.

As he took a look at the headquarters of Facebook and Google, checking out the new gadgets from Google and speaking about the growth of online social networking, he saw something that struck me as interesting. Both the Facebook and Google headquarters are more laid back than multimillion dollar corporations usually are. Places to skateboard, and ping pong tables allow the engineers space to relax. The workers are just full grown kids, and every kid needs his toys.

After doing the rounds at Facebook and Google Rory Cellan-Jones found himself in the city of lights itching to see what the future holds. Promises of 3D home theater systems, and tablet computers urging him on. I wonder what this upcoming year holds for us awaiting consumers.
