Absrtact: At this week's Las Vegas International Consumer Electronics Show, countless products and services are on display, and these products and services will change the way we work, live and play in the coming years. Online connectivity is a common feature of these display devices.
Many new products at CES focus on online services that were not previously. These products are broadly related to the following three themes: coordination of networking equipment and workplaces, the replacement of traditional media by cloud streaming media and the growth of the internet of things.

Coping with BYOD dilemma
At&t shows its "At&t Work Platform", which provides options for Bring-your-own-device (BYOD). This platform enables companies to add data, voice, and messaging services for a variety of mobile enterprise management solutions including MobileIron, AirWatch, good Marvell.
In addition, the platform tracks job-related usage traces on employees ' personal devices, allow them to use the devices they want, although this applies primarily to mobile phones and tablets, but as more devices such as networked wearable devices enter the corporate environment, enterprise management capabilities need to ensure that these devices are not harmful to the company.
Streaming media
New TVs have attracted a lot of attention at this CES (including ANDROID-TV products from HP, Sony and Philips), and a huge change in how humans consume the media is steadily shifting from cable television and satellite subscriptions to streaming media services.
Cisco has unveiled a new cloud solution, offering cloud-based broadcasting, DVR, video-on-demand and pay-per-billing services. Cisco is working with Kabel Deutschland, Germany's biggest cable TV company, to implement the "Video-hub for the Home".
Satellite TV provider Dish receptacle published its web TV app "Sling TV" (It doesn't matter with Slingbox). It allows users to access computers, smart TVs, game consoles, live channels such as ESPN and CNN at a price of 20 dollars a month. For Netflix's low service to sports and news viewers, such as Sling TV may attract people who need to watch real-time programming.
DVR maker Tablo unveiled a new Tablo Metro at CES. The new version has a separate digital antenna, DVR and wireless streaming device, priced at $250, and is expected to be listed in the first quarter of 2015.
The Internet of things is ready to be sent
While it may take some time for the self-driving car to really come true, connecting the car seems soon to become a reality. BMW showcased the cloud-connected BMW i3 at CES, demonstrating that digital devices such as smartphones can be synchronized with the vehicle's navigation system. This may cause drivers to send text messages automatically when they are late.
Automatic introduced a new system that could send car diagnostics to Android and iOS devices, while recording vehicle mileage, travel time, mpg and fuel costs. These designs can help users save up to 30% of petrol and maintenance costs. In addition, it can communicate with Nest thermostat equipment, tell nest equipment to turn on the heating, the driver will be home soon.
In addition, many areas that appear to have little technical content are networked at this CES. The 100 dollar Edyn Garden Sensor one can measure plant health by monitoring soil moisture, conductivity, and nutrients. The 60-dollar edyn labeled valve can be used to irrigate plants when water is low.
Finally, for a wide range of areas of concern, new devices may bring new security risks--bitdefender want to bring strong security to the Internet of things. Bitdefender box is a hardware security platform that can be used as a router that encrypts communications for network devices.
Ces as a direction for future technology, at CES 2015, we see a growing number of product manufacturers are introducing more connected devices and services to connect us more intelligently, and cloud services and hosting are giving these new services a strong support.
