It's that time of the year when we see new technology coming out
of CES. I'm putting together a segment for several TV stations
in the states of Missouri and Kansas as well at California and
Washington DC and I'm looking for some awesome tech items that
were featured at CES. I'm looking for items for kids, tween,
teens, adults, and boomers. Whatever product you have that would
make the perfect tech gift in 2021, I would love to feature
them. These can be stand-alone tech items or tech that interact
with computers and smart devices or that can be run from an app.
Please, no pitches for apps. Thank you in advance.
Requirements:
If you are considering sending a product, make sure you are the
manufacture or a direct rep for the product. If you are someone
who re-sells a product, keep in mind I usually only have 3-4
mins for a segment and will only have time to mention the
product and the parent company, not the company that is
re-selling the product.

I'm looking for sources for an article about "programming jobs
for losers" -- that is, jobs that aren't the flashy high-tech,
high-paying gigs touted when people are told to "learn to code."
They could be jobs for programmers stuck in dull industries,
reengineering poorly written and undocumented code, maintaining
obsolete and decaying systems, or working with painful and
arcane languages that might be industry specific or have a dim
future. Basically, programming jobs that are miserable and lead
nowhere
Requirements:
I'd be looking for sources who are either (a) experts on the
tech job market or (b) have been stuck in jobs like these who
would be willing to talk about how prevalent they are -- and
what your best moves are in you're stuck in this sort of job.
Can a programming job for losers be turned into one for winners,
with the right attitude or a rejiggering of job expectations? Or
is your only option to look for greener pastures?
Not looking for product/service pitches, thanks!
