Doug Dixon is back with his annual round-up of fun tech products for the holidays.
This year he’ll focus especially on tech for the home — including using wireless speakers to jingle bells around the house, digital assistants to remotely deck the hall lights, and wireless cameras to record video of any late-night visitors that come down the chimney with a bound.
However, you better watch out — these devices can see you when you’re sleeping, and know when you’re awake. So you do need to think about whether they are bad or good, watching you in the living room, or listening in the bedroom, or conversing in the kid’s room.
So come on over the river and through the woods to check out this year’s winter wonderland of tech gadgets in action, and make your own list of what’s naughty or nice.
