Living in Digital Times - Real Products for Real People (PLuGHiTz Live - Special Events)
posted Monday Jan 6, 2014 by Contributor
Jeffrey Powers decided to start the show off right by talking with Robin Raskin, a former PC Magazine editor now with Living in Digital Times, who has brought products that people really need to CES 2014.
Canary is a home automation hub, in a similar vein to Nexia, but with the added bonus of temperature monitoring, noise detection and other less automation-focused sensors.
Through their focus on families, Living in Digital Times also showed off Kurio, a smartphone for kids without the full smartphone price tag. In addition, the phone sports some family-friendly features, such as app-specific time limits so parents can turn off games at 8pm and texting at 9pm.
Robin also discusses a product to help coaches better determine whether players should stay on the field or not after a hit.
