Other than a few big-swing failures, it’s been a bit of a holding pattern for consumer technologies this year, with many minor improvements but nothing truly revolutionary.
This week, The Business of Tech hosts Peter Griffin and Ben Moore are unpacking all that and more as they dive into the consumer products and services from 2024 that they thought were good, bad, and just plain silly.
Topics include the series of disappointments that were built-in artificial intelligence (AI) assistants, Dyson’s $800 headphones, the AI services they found useful, hot digital travel tips, a skin-smoothing LED mask, and much more.
This is the last episode for the year, and The Business of Tech will be back again with more great guests and tech news analysis on Jan 23, 2025.
