Consumer Technology Hall of Fame

The Consumer Technology Hall of Fame, founded by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), honors leaders whose creativity, persistence and determination helped to shape the industry and made the consumer technology marketplace what it is today. According to the CTA, the Consumer Technology Hall of Fame inductees have made a significant contribution to the world, and without these people, people's lives would not be the same.

The CTA announced the first 50 inductees into the Hall of Fame at the 2000 CES. Each year another group are inducted into the Consumer Technology Hall of Fame.
