All eyes on Vegas. 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) takes over the city January 10-13. This is your opportunity to see the tech that may change the world in the upcoming year – or what brands "want" us to get excited about.

For example, consumers never embraced 3D TV no matter how hard it was pushed. And for the couple of years, expert have claimed each one as "the year of mobile." Back then, the predictions may have been premature, but 2012 might be it as Tuesday morning's keynote speaker, Qualcomm CEO Dr. Paul Jacobs, will discuss.

For the next few days, follow International CES on Twitter and check out the tech coverage on your favorite sites from SpikeTV to  CNET to G4TV.

Look for the promising trends you may have to learn more about incorporate into your work – and also the ones to avoid.
