Bangalore: While the annual CES tradeshow curtained down leaving spectators fascinated, there were some products which stood with a question mark. Let’s take a look at the ‘dumbest’ products showcased this year.

# 5 Panasonic 4K tablet

The selling point for this tablet is its massive 20 inch 4K screen. Seems to be well suited for designers, architects and even those interested for extra detail and screen space its drawback is the inability to handle all the detail and real estate. The tablet even lags behind on touch screen manipulation.

# 4 HapiLabs Hapifork electronic fork

Looks like a fork, but it doesn’t do the fork related activities as its purpose is to track your eating habits. The built in motion sensor tracks how frequently you raise the fork from your plate to the mouth. It is supposed to beep if you are eating too much or too fast, which sounds relatively the same. Whether you fill yourself with pounds of bacon or enjoy your peas one at a time, the idea out here is pointless.
