Mint Techcetra

In the latest epsiode of Mint Techcetra our hosts Shouvik Das and Leslie D'Monte talks about CES 2025, where tech world is buzzing with exciting innovations, but are they really groundbreaking or just early generation attempts? From Samsung’s omnipresent screens to Hyundai’s futuristic full-windshield holographic displays, the Consumer Electronics Show is showcasing tech that’s pushing the limits of what we expect from devices. One of our very own, Leslie D’Monte, had an insightful chat with Kinsey Fabrizio, the President of the Consumer Technology Association, who shared her perspective on the trends shaping the future. As much as companies strive to stay at the forefront of innovation, some wonder whether these advancements are simply incremental improvements or the next big thing. From PlayStation's cutting-edge experiences to BMW’s panoramic concepts, CES is clearly filled with bold promises, yet the question remains: are these really revolutionary ideas, or just hype? But it’s not all about tech inside your car or home—there’s more to innovation this year. The conversation shifts to ISRO’s Spadex docking experiment, a milestone for India’s space exploration. What does it take to create a docking module capable of connecting spacecraft in orbit? We unravel the complexities of this experiment and discuss its importance for upcoming missions like Chandrayaan 3, Gaganyaan, and even the possibility of a future Indian Space Station. Join us as we ponder the balance between futuristic concepts at events like CES and the tangible advancements happening in space. Is this the year tech crosses over from hype to meaningful impact? Tune in to find out! Let me know if you’d like any further refinements!
