By Al Gibes  This is the last of three columns devoted to my discoveries at the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show held in January in Las Vegas.  New Web sites, services and software prove that an idea doesn't have to have a cord or be battery-operated to turn heads at CES.

Developments in silicon carbide wafers may lead to a new world of fast, robust electronics.

In an advance that could lead to lighter spacecraft and smarter cars, researchers have developed a new technique for producing a high-quality semiconductor that's much more resistant to extreme conditions than the silicon found in most of today's electronics.    Devices built with the rugged material would not require cooling and other protections that add size, weight and cost to traditional silicon electronics in power systems, jet engines, rockets, wireless transmitters and other equipment exposed to harsh environments...

I'm writing this from CES 2007 &#151; the latest and greatest Consumer Electronics Show, where 140,000 attendees crowd 2,700 exhibits packed into 1,660,000 square feet of space in more halls and hotels than I'll bother to count. There's a lot of noise here, and a certain amount of signal; though the ratio of the former to the latter is no less lopsided than it always is. Everybody's not only showing their good sides, but paying millions to crow about it through mass quantities of advertising and PR. \

For decades, PC performance has jumped and prices have dropped, owing largely to the ability to squeeze increasing numbers of transistors into the computers&#39; silicon brains - but they can&#39;t shrink forever.
