The Future of CES: What Will Blow Our Minds in 10 Years
Since 1990, ScanMyPhotos has been a consistent presence at CES, experiencing firsthand the tech innovations that continue to transform the world. While we’re renowned for our role as photo archivists, we’re equally passionate about technology and its potential to change how we preserve, share, and celebrate our most important memories. As staunch tech advocates and futurists, we understand the impact of cutting-edge technology on everyday life and how we cherish those priceless moments captured in time.
At ScanMyPhotos, it’s not just about digitizing your photos—it’s about staying ahead of the curve and embracing the future. The same spirit that drives us to protect our memories also pushes us to anticipate how technology will continue to evolve. Whether it’s advancements in AI, the shift to neural interfaces, or the continued rise of augmented reality, we’re excited to see how these innovations will redefine not just tech but memory preservation.

With that in mind, let’s look at what CES might showcase in the next ten years—and how these futuristic breakthroughs could shape how we live, work, and capture life’s moments.
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has always been the place for jaw-dropping tech reveals. Over the years, we’ve seen some pretty incredible innovations – everything from massive 8K TVs to foldable smartphones. But what’s coming in the next decade? Let’s look at the crystal ball and imagine what CES will showcase in ten years. Spoiler alert – it’s going to blow your mind.
Say Goodbye to Smartphones—Hello Neural Interfaces
Let’s be honest. In 10 years, our beloved smartphones will be ancient relics. Instead, we’ll be rocking wearable neural interfaces – think a device that you don’t touch, but control with your mind. Yep, you heard that right. Imagine answering a text just by thinking about it. These little gadgets will project holographic displays in front of your eyes, and with the help of some very smart AI, they’ll know what you need before you even ask.
By then, smartphones will seem so last decade, and CES will be the stage for showing off these brain-powered wonders.
Self-Driving Cars? Try Autonomous Living Rooms on Wheels
Sure, self-driving cars are here today, but in ten years, they will feel like much more than just cars. They’ll be your mobile living room, complete with cozy couches, smart lighting, and maybe even a screen bigger than your TV at home. While you cruise from one place to the next, you won’t be staring at the road. Instead, you could binge-watch your favorite shows, nap, or get some work done. Think of it like taking your home on the road, and CES will be where this next-gen experience takes center stage.
Your Smartwatch Will Be Your Personal Health Guru
Today’s smartwatches are excellent, no doubt. They track your steps, monitor your heart rate, and send you notifications, but in 10 years? Oh man, they’re going to be so much more. Picture this: your watch doesn’t just tell you how many calories you’ve burned but keeps track of your glucose levels, hydration, and mental health. It will know if you’re about to get sick and recommend what to do about it. It’ll be like having a doctor on your wrist, always watching for your well-being.
Expect these game-changing health hubs to dominate CES soon, and perhaps at #CES2025?
Augmented Reality Glasses: Your Everyday Accessory
Forget bulky virtual reality headsets; in 10 years, we’ll be rocking slim, stylish augmented reality (AR) glasses. These will be as common as wearing sunglasses but way more relaxed. Imagine walking down the street and having real-time information pop up in your field of vision – directions, notifications, and even restaurant reviews. The digital world will blend seamlessly with the real world without taking you away from your surroundings. CES will be where these AR glasses become the new must-have tech.
AI Companions Will Be Your New Best Friend
Today, smart home assistants can tell you the weather or play your favorite song, but that’s just scratching the surface. In the next decade, these AI-powered assistants can do so much more. They’ll learn your preferences, anticipate your needs, and even have actual conversations with you. Picture an AI that manages your home, understands your mood, and helps lift your spirits. It’s like having a digital friend that’s always there for you. CES will be the launchpad for these emotionally intelligent companions that will soon be in every home.
Say Goodbye to Rigid Screens—Hello Flexible Displays
In the future, rigid, flat screens will seem boring. Instead, we’ll have flexible, rollable displays that can be used on walls, furniture, or even clothes. These screens will adapt to whatever surface they’re on, turning anything into an interactive display. Imagine rolling up your living room wall into a giant TV screen for movie night or having a wearable display that turns heads. These flexible displays will change how we view content, and you can bet they’ll be one of the biggest stars at CES in the future.
Wrapping It Up: CES is the Launchpad for Tomorrow’s Tech
Year after year, CES continues to be the playground for tech that redefines our everyday lives. And if the next ten years are anything like the past few, we’re in for a wild ride. From neural interfaces and self-driving living spaces to health-tracking wearables and AI companions, the future will be brighter, more intuitive, and deeply integrated into our lives. CES will be the place where we get to see it all unfold.
