The Consumer Electronics Show— as per the name— is expected to showcase the best tech innovations for the concerned year. While we did come across some of the most intuitive devices, there were certain renditions displayed at the CES 2017 which made me cringe.
CES 2017, like any other year, was expected to come out with the best startup tech or consumer electronic products— capable of stirring the monotony. While the likes of Huawei and Toshiba succeeded in surprising us, there were certain gadgets or rather displays which were underwhelming to say the least.
CES 2017 was more of a year for the televisions but in this post, we will be restricting our domain to the worst entities— courtesy faulty design, lack of functionality and redundancy.
- Radiation Boxers
Trust me, I wasn't expecting CES 2017 to showcase something like this. More than the obvious embarrassment, I was saddened to see the French company— Spartan— come up with a utility undergarment based on a possible hoax. 
These radiation boxers are designed to prevent almost 99 percent of wireless radiation— emanating out of cellphones. As interesting as this might sound, there haven't been a lot of conclusive evidences regarding the effects of cellphone usage on the genitals.
Male infertility courtesy wireless radiation hasn't yet been postulated with a lot of substantial proofs— making Spartan Radiation Boxers the joke of CES 2017.
- Batband Headphones
Usually, a person or even a volunteer wouldn't prefer looking like a dork— even if it means trying out a new technology. Here is a ludicrous gadget— termed as the ear-free Batband Headphones which actually transforms the back of your head into a freaking stereo. The band wraps itself over the skull and it can get embarrassing to carry around this supposed abomination. The 'bone conduction' technology, on the other hand, sounds promising as it allows only the wearer to hear the audio even without plugging stuffs into the ears.
Then again, I have a problem with the design cues and for me the embarrassment of wearing the same outweighs the functionality of listening personalized music over Megabox HD and other streaming or audio outlets. Go and ask the Google Glass!
- L'Oréal's Hair Brush
Yes, I didn't goof up. Its CES 2017 and what we see is a smart hair brush from L'Oréal. Quite expectedly, the company has reasons and justifications behind the launch. This smart hair brush is expected to carry forth or rather strengthen the concept of IoT, in the simplest possible manner. Upon combing or brushing, the Smart Hair Brush courtesy the 'Kerastase Hair Coach' sends out certain bits of information to the concerned smartphone— informing the user about the hair dryness, loose ends and other stuffs. 
While this might still be useful to a select few, I guess the company went a bit too far with the concept of Internet of Things.
Not everything around requires Wireless connectivity and its time companies realize the same.
