While CES is all about the latest and greatest in technology, there was a significant retro theme on display at a number of the booths this year.
The bottom line: Even techies have a soft spot for the gadgets and brands of their youth — or, in some cases, their parents' youth.
First, there was a slew of retro products, the most surprising of which was a cassette boombox from Ion. It's also a bluetooth speaker, but it has a cassette player and analog dial AM/FM radio as well.
Second, there were brands looking to stage a comeback. There were booths pitching names like Polaroid and Kodak. Other brands of yesteryear were found tucked inside the booths of lesser known electronics firms who had licensed the brand.
