- Still ahead, some newdigital technology gift ideas

that might be the answerfor that person on your list

who's just a big challenge to shop for.

Stay with us.

(dramatic music)

And welcome back.

One Thanksgiving traditionis all the shopping

for bargains on gifts.

There are plenty ofsales, but what are some

great gift ideas, especially when it comes

to all things digital?

Our digital editor, CalebKinchlow joins us now

with a look at a few new items.

We're gonna begin over here.

Light bulbs, smart light bulbs.

They're not new.

What's special about--- Right, right,

they're not new, Efrem, but you know,

the thing about most smart bulb technology

is they need a hub inorder to make it work.

- [Efrem] Okay.

- Now the thing aboutthese bulbs particularly,

all you need is the bulband you need your Wi-Fi

from your smart device.

- Okay.

And I can turn,

and I can turn it on with my smartphone?

- You can turn it on, but also,Efram, I mean there's also

footage I can show you, butthere's literally 16 million

colors on here.

But not only that, you can also dive in

a bit deeper as well.

If you wanna change themood, change the atmosphere,

it has all those differentthings for you, Efrem.

There's even little pre-setsfor you for the holidays,

if you wanna go relaxed,if you wanna host a party.

But also, you can even setit to mimic day and night,

and go really really greatand change the settings,

speed, flicker, light temperature color,

all those differentgreat settings by Lifx.

- [Efram] And it looks likeit's not terribly expensive.

We're lookin' like 19 to 60bucks there, so that's not bad.

- They have a lot of different lights.

Well, these are their topsellers, or top three.

You get those from thewebsite, of course, Best Buy

and Walmart as well.

- Okay, cool.

Now we got this big chessset here in the center.

Tell us a little bit aboutwhy is this high tech?

- This chess board actuallyuses what's called telerobotics,

which is actually the useof semi-autonomous movement

with robotic technology.

So the thing about thisthat's really cool is we play

against the app.

If I move a piece, it'sactually not my turn right now.

If I move a piece, then theother pieces from the robot

will actually move on its own.

- [Efram] Oh wow.

So I'm playing a robot?

- You're playing a robot,but also additionally, Efrem,

you can play against, there's20 million people who also

are on chess.com.

You can also play againstlike your friends who have

the app as well, and play against it.

So it's a whole differentreal world dynamic

to playing the game.

- So I only need this oneboard and I can play against

- Yeah.- Someone else?

- Yeah, usin' the app..

- Okay.- The pieces

move by themselves.

It's a crazy thing.

- Yeah, indeed.

Now you've also got a drone with you.

- Oh yes, yes.

This drone here, Air Hog, the Super Nova.

The thing about thisdrone, it actually has,

there's no extra controllers.

There's five differentsensors here, and there's also

a sensor underneath there on the bottom.

Now what you do here is actuallykind of hard to control,

but that's part of the funlearning how to fly it.

Now what I'm gonna doso I can control it here

in this big space here.

I'm gonna show you how thisworks here on this drone.

Watch this, I'm gonna take it and,

and now there's lots of thingshappening here in this space.

But this is controlled andthere's also a lot of different

sync modes that you can do as well.

So I can do some trickshere, like control it.

It's kinda hard.

With the sensors on the side here.

(laughs)

- Now this, as a drone, istaking video as it's up there?

- No, there's no video for this one.

- No video, okay.- Not for

this particular one.

It's just a fun, get somepractice, learn how to fly.

You get about five to eightminutes of flying time

on this drone, which actuallyfor these kind of drones

is actually a lot.

- Five to eight minutes.- Yes.

- And how far, I mean it willgo as high as I will let it?

- Right, as high as you'll let it.

Mostly it's for indoor use only.

- For indoor.- Indoor use only.

Because it's all about the tricks,

and I've been practicing forweeks trying to get the tricks.

- Well, let's see, Caleb.

- I'm gonna try to get a little bit.

I can get it up, can get it under control.

See if I can get it to come down.

Okay, it's going up into this.

- Alright, come down.

- I'm trying to get itto do a spin loop for you

if I can get it to.

See, it's hard, Efram, it's really hard.

But it's a lot of fun actually.

- And this retails for only?

- 29.99.- 29.99?

- Yes.- Now the big

ticket item here on the board is what?

- This is the big ticketitem, it's actually 369,

however we do have a promo code for it.

Use CBN one, they'll give you10% off on this chess set.

- CBN one, I saw some images of you.

Is that you playing with your son?

- Yeah, we've been playing this game,

playing against the AI.

He's actually good.

He's been practicing on theapp and playing against the AI.

It's really cool to watchhim watch the pieces

move back and forth with myson, so it's really cool.

- Does he win?

- Sometimes, sometimes he wins.

There's different modes.

There's 20 different modes youcan play in order to interact

and learn your skills.

- [Efram] Okay, so I canmatch my skill set to--

- And, Efram, you can alsolivestream and watch other

chess masters play on the board though.

So it's a whole differentdynamic by saying hey,

instead of me just watchingon the video screen,

I'm literally watching thechess pieces physically mover

on their own.

- [Efram] So I watch myboard and it does that?

- Yeah.- Oh wow.

That's some good stuff.

Alright, Caleb Kinchlow, thank you so much

for the fun gift ideas.

Amazing stuff.

Stay with us, there's muchmore of CBN News Watch

coming up right after this.

We'll be right back.
