7 Most Exciting Tech Trends From CES 2016

4. Drones Aren't Going Away Anytime Soon

Drones have almost gone full circle in their public image. They went from dull, automated systems, to silly toys, and now people are taking them seriously again as their myriad applications become apparent.

With Amazon Prime Air still taking tiny, tentative steps, the job of drones remains largely limited to videography with the Lily Cam amongst those showcased at CES 2016. This faithful little drone will follow you wherever you go, ideal for filming extreme sports or just for the ultimate selfie.

Chinese manufacturers DJI have launched a fairly serious bit of kit as the first drone equipped with a 4K camera for less than $1000, with its own integrated WiFi to stream the images back to base camp from over a kilometre away.

The drone is definitely the Christmas present of choice for the tech lover in your life.
