Another January, another CES.  The Consumer Electronics Show, held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, has been a fixture of the technology calendar since 1967.  The first show was held in June in New York City.  
Since then, CES has showcased the debut of an array of world-changing technologies: the VCR (1970), the camcorder (1981), the CD player (1981), the MiniDisc (1993), the DVD (1996), the digital radio (2000), the Xbox (2001), Blu-ray (2003).
And also, "booth babes" — originally called CES guides — have been present at the show since 1967.
