The primary focus at CES is of course showing off new technologies -- both those that are in development and consumer ready, however there's also a speaker's series. Ford CEO Mark Fields just delivered a keynote address kicking off the festivities. Here's what we learned:

As cars get more connected, Fields stressed that “customers own their data, we are just stewards of that data."

Ford plans to innovate ride sharing with Ford car swaps.

They want to make parking easier and are testing an app in London and another cloud-based solution in Atlanta.

Tonight Intel CEO Brian Krzanich will take the stage.

Laundry just got pretty awesome. LG's new Twin Wash System takes care of two loads simultaneously. Yes, that means you can do your lights and your darks at the same time. (Image Credit: LG)

In the near half-century CES has been taking place, the forum has been used to introduced some revolutionary technology.

In 1970, the VCR made its world debut. Camcorders and CD players came along in 1981.
HDTV was unveiled in 1998. In 2001, the world was bestowed with the gift of XBOX.

In ten years from now, what do you think people will talk about most from the 2015 CES? The connected car and smart home seem to be top contenders.
