12 Everyday Items Get the High-Tech Treatment

Innovation may not be synonymous with tennis rackets, toothbrushes or underwear, but 2014 is the year that everyday items will undergo a massive high-tech makeover.

During last week's International CES, companies launched products in line with the "the Internet of Things" trend -- a term that refers to bringing Wi-Fi connection, and ultimately, the Internet to common objects.

For a full look at these connected products and more, check out the gallery, above.
