CES 2014 Preview: 5 Things To Expect

The Consumer Electronics Show is about to begin. Are you ready? Numerous announcements are expected to be made, but it's the future world technology (such as flexible displays or glasses-free 3D televisions) that consumers are really excited about. Sony SNE and Samsung SSNLF are among the big players that are expected to be present at the show, but not everyone is attending. Apple AAPL, for example, will skip the show and continue to use its own press events to unveil new products. Even with Apple's absence, CES 2014 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting technology events of the year. Click through the slideshow to see some of the coolest devices that are expected to be on display.
