One of the coolest places you ever want to visit, and probably don't know about, is the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas that is going on right now.

It is nothing but gadgets available and/or coming soon that will make your life better.  For example, how many of you would like this:

This Machine Will Fold Your Laundry For You

DONE.  With the Foldimate, you simply clip the clothes onto the machine, which then sucks it up and spits it out onto a separate tray fully folded.  AND, it's small and compact enough to fit in your closet (convenient, right?)

The tray can be continuously fed with up to 15 items at a time.  Now, the bad news,  the machine is still in the prototype stages, and you better start saving up because the price tag when it debuts at the end of 2019 will be $980.

Would you spend $1000 to avoid folding clothes?

Probably! <g>
