James Gerber rounds up the top trends he's seen from CES 2017, eschewing the laptops and smartphones in favor of discussing the myriad of smart home and AI announcements that seem to be pushing their way to the forefront this year.Meanwhile, Vikas Agrawal lists the seven most common smartphone repairs, some of which were to be expected (cracked and broken touchscreens, water damage) and some of which were a bit more surprising (lock issues, connectivity).

While it seems like sensible enough advice, it's a lot harder to stay calm and collected in the middle of a breach.Since it's still "all CES 2017, all the time", here are a few prompts focused on the trade show: What has been the best CES 2017 announcement so far/what CES 2017 announcement are you most excited about? Alternatively, what has been the lamest announcement or most disappointing? LGs G5 handset has struggled in the market and now the company is refocusing on "aesthetics and usability" -- instead of on the modular feature of the smartphone.

Do you have any technology resolutions for the new year? Share them with us!
