Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a global stage where the world’s next-generation inventions are

introduced towards the marketplace, and lots of companies are participating. Here are several of the amazing

inventions that were introduced at the showin 2020.

August Wi-Fi Smart Lock

It's an intelligent door lock to protect your home, and it works on Wi-Fi. The lock doesn’t require any

additional hardware to attach to it and can be used with the existing door lock. The owner can remotely access the

door from anywhere to lock or unlock and can provide guest keys to family or friends. It keeps statistics and

records of your door’s “lock”, “unlock”, and who have visited.

Motion Pillow

It’s a pillow developed for anyone who has a snoring (打鼾) problem. The solution box detects, records, and

analyses the sleeping person’s snoring patterns. By changing the internal airbag’s pressure, it fixes the position of

the sleeping person’s neck and head gently to improve his breathing. Three layers of noise- reducing material

minimize the user’s sleeping disturbance.

Ao Air

It’s a high-tech face-covering wearable air purifier with no tight seal on the mouth and nose. The purifier pulls

air inside through a filtration (过滤) process and uses fans to createa clean area in front of the device. It’s

designed in such a way that it can clean more than 98 % of PM2.5 through filtration.

Transparent Hood

The company Continental showed off this revolutionary invention at CES 2020 that got the Best Vehicle

Intelligence and Transportation Award. It’s a technology that gives the driver the ability to see barriers and blind

spots from the driving seat. Four cameras take surrounding pictures so that the driver can see the real-time blind

spots and prevent even parking damage too.

What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying

attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-­technology（生物技术）. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s

leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.

In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in

medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known

to decide the final death. Cells（细胞）are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure

that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of

brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050

and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will beable to take

medicine to repair their organs（器官）. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build

new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of

old ones.

It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human

existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
