Living in Digital Times turns the concept of a traditional exhibit upside down as it focuses on technology that's relevant to particular lifestyles. This CE Spotlight is divided into five TechZones that each give you a chance to dive in and explore the needs of individual consumers depending on where they are in life. Take a look:

Babies cut their first teeth on remote controls. Today’s children explore virtual worlds and own a drawer-full of prized personal consumer electronics. Learn what’s happening in this young market at Kids@Play.

Ever on the lookout for newer, better, faster and more innovative technology, college kids are among the first adopters of consumer technology. See what’s new and next for these young adults in HigherEd Tech.

Moms use technology that helps them juggle priorities, stay connected with their own families and other moms, and savor their multiple roles. What products matter most to them? Check out Mommy Tech.

There are about 78 million boomers in the US (450 million worldwide) born between 1946 and 1964 — and they're hitting their peak earning and spending. Silvers Summit shows you what’s new and next for this increasingly tech-savvy market.

Health and technology become increasingly intertwined – no matter the age of the consumer. The Digital Health TechZone focuses on the emerging market of consumer-based digital health and wellness devices, related applications and services.
