Press release: CEA Survey Indicates Americans Will Use Technology to Help Fulfill Their 2004 New Year's Resolutions. Quote: "Consumer electronics empower consumers, helping them improve productivity, organize and communicate better, and enhance their lifestyles." Noticeably lacking in this list of resolutions is anything health-related, such as weight loss or exercise. Later on in the release, a CEA poll even lists "lose weight" as the top consumer resolution. But unlike January 2003, there are no sessions at CES 2004 on using consumer electronics to improve (or even monitor) one's health. CEA and its members need to heavily promote health education as an application, instead of being open to criticism that it has helped turned many Americans into obese couch potatoes.
