CES 2026 just wrapped up ... and I can't stop thinking about how the timeline between "impossible" →← "shipping next quarter" is just collapsing! Here are the top 5 things that caught my fancy 🤩 • the LEGO Group bricks that react to how you play with them. Chips smaller than a stud + built-in sensors. Swing a lightsaber & it hums in real-time. No app, no screen. Just intelligent physical play. • Paper batteries already in production w Logitech & Amazon. Biodegradable, non-flammable batteries + zero lithium. If this scales, we're watching a supply chain get rewritten in real time. • Robot vacuum climbing stairs. Roborock's Saros Rover deployed wheel-legs & hopped up 5 steps in 40s while vacuuming each one. The impossible will just become mundane. • Your car's windshield is about to replace the dashboard. BMW Group's full-AR HUD projects navigation exactly where you need it on the road ahead. Not on a screen. On reality. • Your bathroom mirror will diagnose you. Smart mirrors, needle-free injections & ambient health tracking that catches illness before symptoms appear. Healthcare is shifting from reactive to invisible. The pattern? Companies that treated AI as a feature to bolt on are getting lapped by companies rebuilding products, assuming AI exists from day 1. The gap isn't closing. It's accelerating ⚡️ #CES #CES2026 #TechTrends

This is a fantastic roundup — your picks really capture how fast “future tech” is becoming everyday reality, and I love how clearly you connected the dots across industries. To me, the real solution going forward is exactly what you pointed out: rebuilding products with AI at the core instead of layering it on later, because that’s where true breakthroughs seem to happen. I’m especially excited about how these ideas will scale beyond demos into real-world adoption, and I’m curious to see which of these becomes truly mainstream first.
Good job!
