Given that 2015 was a pretty 'relaxed' year for technological advances, next year looks set to give way to some really amazing inventions. From autonomous driving to floating hotels in space, it all seems like more of a dream than a reality but big companies have been making some pretty big promises about the future. In just over two weeks, tech leaders will descend upon Las Vegas for Consumer Electronics Show 2016 to unveil some of the biggest consumer tech releases for 2016, and with analysts predicting which companies will be sizing up to the plate, we already know Samsung, Sony, LG and hundreds more will show off the next generation of must-have tech. But what about the inventions which are really going to change people's life? CES is great for consumers but what about the technology that will change our lives as we know it? At least we know there's going to be no more 'hover boards' - just yet.
