Jokes on them, I’d love to spend an hour in the V.I.PEE premium port-john. When it comes to bleeding-edge technology, not every idea is going to be an automatic winner. For every groundbreaking idea you see brought to life there are hundreds of unreleased products deemed too bizarre for public consumption. This is where CES comes in. The last bastion for ambitious, albeit often unnecessary technology, the long-running Consumer Electronics Showcase in Las Vegas, Nevada is the perfect place to tak

With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.
