So ohms apply to pretty much all of the products on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show. The CES convention is happening this week in Las Vegas, Nevada. It`s usually a big draw in the tech world, but some folks are starting to question the convention`s importance. Dan Simon gives us a preview of this year`s event.

We are in the heart of the convention center, where you`ll find more than 30 football fields of gadgetry. And here`s a taste of what you`ll see.

As always, televisions make the boldest statement at the show, and this year you`ll see more of what are called OLED televisions. These are ultra-thin and offer the best picture on the market. And pretty much every TV you see has 3-D functionality and connects to the Internet.

To appreciate just how difficult it is to put on this show, just come outside and check out all the crates. This is the stuff from Mitsubishi right here. Behind us are the crates from Microsoft. And this is just a tiny fraction of the overall amount of equipment here in Las Vegas.

One of the big themes of the show is seeing all the accessories for smartphones and tablets. This is one of the more unusual contraptions we`ve seen. This turns your iPad into a guitar. This is a product from Ion that will retail for $99 when it comes out this summer. And it teaches you how to play the guitar.

Panasonic is trying to give us a sense as to what cars might look like in the future. This is not a video game, but a vision to make driving safer and easier.

People may think of CES really as a place to unveil TVs and computers, but it`s really a lot more than that. It`s really for any product that requires batteries or electricity and is available to consumers. We are at the Inada booth. And as you may have guessed, they sell massage chairs.

In computers this year, it`s all about ultrabooks, thin, powerful laptops with long battery life. Virtually every computer maker is coming out with their own version.

Companies like Google and Apple don`t come to CES. Instead, they hold their own events throughout the year. Microsoft has decided to go that route, and says this will be its last year at the show, which has some wondering whether CES is losing its clout.

The big companies don`t want to be on this show`s schedule, to say, OK, early January every year, we have to have the big product for the year. But I haven`t seen one new product that is a thing that we`ve never seen before, a behavior we`ve never seen before, and that`s what everyone looks for. And this show gets a knock when it doesn`t have one of those.

But for smaller companies and startups, CES is still perceived as a must. Xybotyx is making its debut this year, and it makes a product that turns your iPhone into a robot.

Well, we`re just interested in being here and getting exposure, and I think, you know, the less other products` announcements there are, the better off for us.

Despite the changes in the industry, CES still remains a very powerful draw, with more than 2,700 companies coming to the event -- Dan Simon, CNN, Las Vegas.

All right. Before we go, we have for you the latest round of man versus beast --

the staring contest. Three-year-old Sophia (ph) went face to face with this lion at a New Zealand zoo. Unfortunately, she started the contest during his feeding time, and it looks like he wants to add her to the menu.

Look at Sophia (ph), though. She barely flinched, and she never backed away from the glass. It might be that Sophia`s superior staring skills scared him, although if the lion gets intimidated by a three-year old, we guess he`s just a fraidy cat.

Or maybe he was made that she was hogging his attention because, after all, he`s probably used to being the "mane" event. Thankfully, we have video. Otherwise, if we told you a little girl stood up to the king of the jungle, you`d think we were "lion."

We`ll be back tomorrow with more CNN Student News. See you then.[qh]

所以欧姆非常适用于多数国际消费者电子产品展览会的产品。CES大会本周在拉斯维加斯内华达拉开帷幕。这是技术世界的一次盛会,但是一些人开始质疑这一盛会的重要性。丹·西蒙会为我们报道这次活动的概况。
我们现在位于会展中心,在这里你将看到超过30个足球场的那种感官刺激。这是一种你能看到的体会。
像往常一样,电视依旧是这次盛会最大胆的展示,今年你会看到更多所谓的OLED电视。这些都是超薄并提供市场上最优质画面的电视。几乎每一款电视都有3D功能并可以连接到互联网。
走马观花般欣赏整个展会无疑非常困难,只要出来一探所有箱子的究竟即可知晓一切。这是来自日本三菱的箱子。在我们后面的箱子来自微软公司。而这还只是拉斯维加斯设备总数的冰山一角。
这次展会的一大主题是智能手机和笔记本电脑的所有配件。这与我们平常所见可不同寻常。这会把你的iPad变成一把吉他。这是一种今年夏天将会推出零售价为99美元的新型周边产品。
松下正试图给我们营造一种未来车的样子。这可不是一款视频游戏,而是一种景象,它会使驾驶更安全,更容易。
人们可能会认为CES展会中电视和电脑会大行其道,但是这次展会却实实在在有更多的意义。这是为任何产品,甚至需要电池或电力提供给消费者的展会。我们现在是在Inada展台。你可能已经猜到,他们主营按摩椅销售。
今年的电脑都是关于超级本的。这种轻薄,强大的笔记本电脑电池寿命极长。几乎所有的电脑制造商都在宣传自己的版本。
像谷歌和苹果公司没有参展CES。相反,他们贯穿全年有自己的活动,。微软公司也已经决定贯彻这条路线,并表示这将是其参展的最后一年。微软公司怀疑CES正在失去其影响力。
大公司不想参与这个展会,表示,好吧,每年一月初,我们有为整年准备的重量级产品。但我还没有见到一款新产品是一款我们从来没有见过的产品,我们以前从未见过的一种行为,每个人都在寻找。这次展会还没有出现亮点。
但对于小公司和刚刚起步的公司来讲,CES仍被认为是必须的展会。Xybotyx今年首次亮相,它的产品使你的iPhone变成机器人。
好吧,我们只是对这里感兴趣而已,我想,你了解其他产品的公告越少,对我们就更好。
尽管行业处于变革,CES仍然是一幅强劲有力的画卷,有超过2700家公司来此驻足。CNN，丹·西蒙,从拉斯维加斯为您发回的报道。
非常感谢。在我们离开之前,我们为你呈现最新一轮的人类大战野兽。
这是一场凝视的比赛。三岁的索菲娅在新西兰动物园面对这头狮子。不幸的是,她的比赛恰巧在它的进食时间开始,看起来这头野兽想把她加入菜单之中。
看看索菲娅。她几乎畏缩,她从来就没有后退远离玻璃窗。也许是索菲娅的优越能力吓着它,尽管狮子不会被3岁的小孩吓倒,我们只能设想这或许是一只害羞的大猫。
也许它根本没有关注她。因为她...毕竟,它很可能被使用“鬃毛”事件。因此谢天谢地我们有了这段视频。否则,如果我们告诉你一个小女孩站起来反抗森林之王,你会认为我们是“狮子王”。
明天会有更多的新闻带给你。这里是CNN学生新闻，我们明天再见。
