What Makes You Believe the CE Industry Will Thrive in the Next 5 Years: Our dependency as a society on technology will continue to drive the CE industry well past the next 5 years. Technology over the last 5 years has established itself deep into the primary education classroom. These generations of kids do not know life without smart devices; as they grow older, this need will evolve with better solutions, but the need for CE devices will always be there.
