SPEAKERS
For proof that Alexa/Siri-style
digital assistants are becoming
ubiquitous, see Vizio’s latest
soundbars, which have Google

Built-in Chromecast is what
they shout about instead.

This tiny quadcopter
sports a 5MP camera,
weighs just 61g and
comes with a charging
station that doubles
as a smartphone case.
It only flies for three
minutes, but, as
it’s designed purely
for taking selfies,
that shouldn’t be too
much of a problem.
