PETER SAGAL, HOST:
In just a minute, since all the stuff at this year's CES were for old people, we'll ask, what will be the must-have gadget at next year's Consumer Electronics Show? But first, let me tell you all that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Visit St. Petersburg-Clearwater, home of 35 miles of white sand beaches along Florida's Gulf Coast and a daily sunset celebration on Clearwater Beach, 90 minutes west of Orlando - at visitstpeteclearwater.com. Lumber Liquidators, supporting rebuilding efforts in Aransas County, Texas - which was affected by Hurricane Harvey - providing material support and money to help rebuild public schools in the county. More at lumberliquidators.com. And Burlington stores, committed to helping communities. Since 2007, they've donated 1.8 million coats. Through January 22, Burlington is collecting gently worn coats so people can stay warm - burlingtonstores.com.

SAGAL: And Roy Blount Jr.
ROY BLOUNT JR.: Well, two of the leading gadgets this year, I understand, were a very huggable robot and a toilet you can communicate with. For certain mornings after and even late nights, what's needed is a sort of hybrid of that - a very...
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: A toilet you can embrace.
BLOUNT JR.: Yeah.
