Tech gadgets are more popular in 2021 than ever. In 2020, the in-person (pre-Covid) CES Show, which focuses on the tech industry, was the largest trade show held in the United States.

With products that can provide data remotely on whether or not you left your lights on at home or bio-metric feedback available at the touch of a button on your wrist, consumers crave the latest and greatest tech available.
